Light and Darkness

What can make my life so happy as this, to know that I am drawing nearer to God? Yet there will be dark times and days of despondency. Still down at the bottom, beneath the surface, there will be hope and peace, even amid the darkness.

Pray for cheerfulness, and an earnest purpose to live for God.

-- Rev. R.F. Clarke, SJ, The Devout Year
