Wednesday of Hope – The Light Always Returns
There is a perfectly still moment right before dawn, when the sun gathers itself and then steps into the dark world and everything is so filled with light that any doubts from that long night are barely a memory. It is the way of all things that the night ends and the light returns. The light always returns.

Wednesday of Hope – Darkest before Dawn
On this Feast of St. Lucy, whose name means Light – celebrated in the darkest days in the Northern Hemisphere, I’ve chosen this quote for those times we find ourselves in darkness, no matter the time of year or the hemisphere.
We must believe it is darkest before the dawn of a new world. We will see it when we believe it.
– Saul Alinsky
Wednesday of Hope – Waiting without Hope

May My Heart Shine
