FAITH IN THE MIDST OF THE DARK NIGHT / by Joe Castorino

In the deep dark night,

The swirling black sky

Of sadness and despair

Seems never-ending,

And the wild winds 

Of worry and woe

Scream in pain,

But the Morning Star,

A beacon of hope,

Sweetly rises in my soul,

Whispering the truth

With its happy light:

“Have faith, my child. 

The darkness will not last.

The Divine Mercy is near.

So be patient and trust Him,

For the Son always rises!”
