Prayer

From darkness into light

I saw how a flower grew
from seed to bloom
from darkness into light
And I knew that could happen
to our world too —
This growing in
and emerging from
Darkness into Light:
A Light that illuminates
Hope;
Whose beams radiate
Healing, Renewal and
Transformation;
Whose rays shine
on the promise
of Life again.

And what of our world?
It will be flowering
for all to see!

Providence Associate
