A blessing that reminds us that on this day of Epiphany, we carry a light with us, especially in the darkest of places
"Blessed are you –
who bear the light in unbearable times,
who testify to its endurance amid the unendurable,
who bear witness to its persistence when everything seems in shadow and grief.
Blessed are you in whom the light lives,
in whom the brightness blazes –
your heart a chapel,
an altar where in the deepest night can be seen the fire that shines forth in you
in unaccountable faith, in stubborn hope, in love that illumines every broken thing it finds."
(From Jan Richardson)
