Even in the darkness

Daily Reading for September 9 • Constance, Nun, and her Companions, 1878

Oh sovereign God, in your bountiful creation,
Rain falls on the just and the unjust,
Signifying life’s Infinite Mystery.
I cannot know your ways;
there is much I will never understand.
Yet still, I bow in humble worship
To a power greater than my own.
And even in the darkness,
I choose to live faithfully and to celebrate life.
Hear me, Oh Lord, and be with me,
Now and forever. Amen.
