LIGHT SCATTERS THE DARKNESS / by Joe Castorino

The evil one clouds my mind

with the storms of worry,

Trying to make my spiritual vision

very unclear and blurry;

But Our Lady faithfully teaches me

to meditate on the Passion,

Which in every age of world history,

is always in holy fashion;

Then, by contemplating Divine Mercy

I rejoice and let my soul sing,

As I am inspired by the music

of St. Hildegard von Bing;

At last, the Lord of Light scatters

the deep dark night,

And the present moment is transfigured

into glorious and holy delight.
