Even in the darkness

Daily Reading for September 9 • Constance, Nun, and her Companions, 1878

Oh sovereign God, in your bountiful creation,

Rain falls on the just and the unjust,

Signifying life’s Infinite Mystery.

I cannot know your ways;

there is much I will never understand.

Yet still, I bow in humble worship

To a power greater than my own.

And even in the darkness,

I choose to live faithfully and to celebrate life.

Hear me, Oh Lord, and be with me,

Now and forever. Amen.
