Dear God,

Your light can penetrate any darkness.  Darkness does not have the power to ultimately overcome the power of light.  Light can shine revealing the way to truth that can set us free.

How many times have I seen your light break into the darkness of our souls?  How many times have I watched the power of darkness weaken as the light made its way into the deepest hidden places?  How many times have I watched light dispel the darkness that held us captive?  Oh, so many times!

As I reflect upon the two retreats in which I have either lead or participated in in the last week, I celebrate your miracle-working light.  How sweet your light is, how comforting!  How beautiful and grace filled!

How I give thanks to you for your light!

Thank you
for blessing us
with your light,
Great Light of the Cosmos!
Shine upon us
and let us
shine on others.
Show us
the way
to the light.
Then make
our joy full
so it
will spill out
in the form
of light
to the world
around us.
Make us beacons,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
