Reflection
In lieu of a reflection today, we offer this prayer from Cameron Bellm, written for the USD community in 2020.
In the beginning, God said "Let there be light."
Yet somehow, we still found ourselves in darkness.
So, God sent the Light again,
This time with human arms to hold us close,
With human eyes to seek us when we were lost,
With human feet to walk to Calvary on our behalf.
The Light came to us in the dark of night,
not in a palace of riches,
but in a stable filled with dirt and hay.
There is no place too lowly for the Light to enter.
May we open up all our darkness
And make him room.
Amen.
