A Trio of Haikus on Seeking Light

The night seems so strong.

We wander seeking the Light,

unable to see.

Our eyes, opened wide,

We search the darkened landscape,

yearning for the Light.

Suddenly a spark

flashes in the night sky;

Illumination.

Prayer:

Light a candle (or two candles on your Advent wreath), take a deep breath, and pray…

O Come Creator of celestial light and shine on all creation. From the countless stars in the vast heavens to the small insects that crawl on the ground, your creation is wonderfully made. Order and connectedness to creation surround us in ways that we are only beginning to understand. As humans, we have upset the balance and have not been good caretakers of creation. What you have made moans and cries out for relief. Give us wisdom that transcends our ignorance, selflessness that goes beyond our greed, and action that moves us from complacency. Create in us the passion for being good stewards. Through the Resurrected Body of Christ, Amen.
