Do you see the light?

Almighty God,

Sometimes this world seems black indeed. Even a glance at the newspaper reminds me of the suffering that surrounds me -- war, despotism, poverty, famine. And some days, I don't even have to look for darkness, but find it within my own life -- in my own pain and in the pain I have caused others. On this day, Lord, I pray you send me reminders of your light in this world. Grant me wisdom and insight to recognize moments of grace, and inspire me anew with the eternal hope you granted humanity through the example of your son, Jesus the Christ, the light of the world.

Amen.
