In time of loss

In this moment of loss, let me draw into myself, O God,
the light of your radiant love.

May it be a fire of renewed energy within me.
that I may rise from the pain and sadness
that now weigh upon my heart.

May it illumine for me the pathway of hope
and a renewed trust in your Providence.

May it shine forth at each dawn
a sign to me or your never-ending care
and compassion.

May it bring me a deep
and lasting peace.

Amen.
