THE STAR IN THE DARK NIGHT / by Joe Castorino

O heavenly Star,

I am living in the dark night

Of unknowing,

Searching for peace in uncertainty. 

 

O Lighthouse in the sky,

I am living in the dark night

Of the unseen,

Trying so hard to die to myself.

 

With your beacon of light,

You scatter my enemies,

Coming to my aid,

Embracing me with love.

 

I rejoice in the source

Of your most powerful light,

Christ the Courageous,

Your only Sun.
