Diwali

Reflection

“Deepavali is not just a festival of lights, but a reminder to light the lamp within. When compassion replaces ignorance and kindness conquers darkness, happiness naturally blossoms in every heart.” –Debasish Mridha

Prayer

God of light,
As many continue celebrating Diwali this year, we all draw courage from the sure knowledge that no force in the universe is strong enough to extinguish the goodness that dwells in the world through the human heart and its readiness to love. May we all be encouraged this season to become more compassionate and kinder, especially towards those who are underserved and vulnerable. That your light among us will shine all the brighter, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Pay attention to the interplay of light in the spaces I encounter. Take hope from the way light
dispels darkness.
