|
prayer for the festivals of light an interfaith prayer |
The
rebirth of the life-generating and life-sustaining sun
at
the darkest moment of the seasons;
The
oil of an ancient temple lamp burning beyond its limit;
A
shining star in a dark sky illuminating the way;
The
light of mercy revealed through prayer and devotion;
The
guiding light of seven principles arising from the heart of
the
Dark Continent.
This
is the season of The Festivals of Light...
The
Winter Solstice,
Chanukah,
Christmas,
Ramadan,
Kwanzaa
In
the darkness of this Winter
during
these terror filled and challenging times;
May
we all find the light in darkness,
faith
amidst struggle,
rebirth
following change and loss,
and virtue and devotion in the face of great challenge.
