Hope
When I look around, I see shadows of hunger. So many neighbors, nearby and around the world, will go to bed hungry tonight…
When I look around, I see shadows of injustice, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer — and someone somewhere will fall asleep under a bridge tonight…
In the face of hunger, we light a candle of hope…
In the face of injustice, in the face of despair, we light a candle of hope…
May the light from this candle overwhelm the world!
May the light from this candle say to all that God’s hope is coming, on earth as it already is in heaven.
Friends, be not afraid, God’s hope is at hand!
