Chalice Lightings

Gordon B. McKeeman

Let there be light!

"Let there be light!"
     Let it shine in dark places,
         in moments of pain,
         in times of grief,
         in the darkness of hatred,
             violence,
             oppression,
         where there is discouragement and despair.

Wherever darkness is to be put to flight,
     "Let there be light!"

(Quoting Genesis 1:3)
