Through the Flaming Sword

There is within each of us a Light,
a Light that can comfort us and heal us,
that can drive away the shadows
and illuminate the way forward.
When we hold someone in that Light,
we act in our own Light
and we give answer to their Light;
we stand beside them,
we stand in solidarity with their suffering;
and we say, “You are not alone.
We are here with you.
The Holy Spirit is here with you.
And together we offer hope, faith, and love.”
