Dearest God,

One single light shines in the darkness, one single light. One single light reveals, illumines, warms, instills, initiates, speaks, hopes, loves. One single light.

In the darkness of the early morning, one single light shines. It is you, O God; it is you, O Lord. One single light shines, opening the dark places in my heart. Nothing is hidden where your light shines. It finds every dark crack and crevice and shines there. The warmth of your love finds the cold places and thaws them. One single light.

One single light gathers souls, hungry souls looking for the light. My own soul longs for your light. The fire of your spirit eases my tension, quieting my soul, bringing me peace. I long for you, O God; my whole being longs for you in the quiet of the morning.

Bring me
your light,
Holy Father,
Holy Mother,
let your light
so shine
on me
that I become
your light
shining in
the world.
Let your light
restore my
broken heart,
renew my
broken spirit,
refresh my
weary soul.
What value
am I
without your light?
I am
but darkness itself.
What good
can I
do without you?
What hope
can I offer?
What comfort,
or peace?
What faith
can I carry?
What truth
can I know?
Shine on me,
dear God,
on all
my inward parts.
I humbly pray,
Great Light
of the World.

Love, Andrea
