through the DARKNESS comes the LIGHT
WITH the darkness and cold of winter falling heavy upon the world, this season can at times be the darkest of seasons.
During those moments of darkness will come light and we shall see upon it the shine of the beauty of our Lord’s face.
A meeting with my spiritual director taught me that we must not despair. Because with despair there is no hope.
In these times we must embrace sorrow for in sorrow do we find hope. just like our blessed Mother Mary did in every step of her fiat.
Sincerely, Dana
