In the darkest night,
light radiates;
In the driest wilderness,
streams flow;
In the most disorienting confusion,
truth whispers;
In the most turbulent storms,
peace endures;
In the shadow of death,
life is born.
No matter what evil may do,
no matter what destruction may come,
no matter what death may threaten,
we praise you, O God,
that life and light and beauty are not overcome,
And we commit to your call
to live and proclaim our commitment
to put our faith in goodness.
Amen.
