OriensO Morning Star,
bright light, eternal dawn, sun of justice:

shine on those who dwell
in darkness
and
the shadow of death;

Be our guide on the path of righteousness.

Come now and show us the light
that brings eternal joy.

Questions
Where do you see the most darkness in your life? In your neighborhood? In your greater community? Pray that God would shine his light on that darkness and that the peace of
God which surpasses all understanding would be made known.
Reflect for a moment on some of the darkness you have experienced or are currently experiencing. How has Christ and the Holy Spirit led you out of darkness and onto the path of light?
