The life of faith
Simeon the prophet rejoiced as he sang,
‘My eyes have seen your salvation'.
I have not seen you, but I have believed in you.
And since you called those happy who believe without seeing
I have reached the peaks of contentment.

Goodness is stronger than evil;
love is stronger than hate;
light is stronger than darkness;
life is stronger than death;
victory is ours through him who loves us.
Desmond Tutu, South Africa. Prayers Encircling the World.
You grant me the clear confidence that you exist, and that you will ensure that not all the ways of goodness are blocked.

One unforgettable day, dear God
you reached down to where I was
and lifted me up to where you are
and we have been inseparable
from that moment to this.
