There is a darkness that sows fear, intimidation and
terror in our world because of the existence of evil. We sadly encountered the
truth of this darkness in a drastic and tragic way this past weekend. Our
hearts are grieved and we pray for the innocent victims—our fellow citizens—who
were needlessly killed or injured as a result of this horror.
Like many of you, I have been brought to tears as I’ve
seen the images and heard the stories from the sight of the shooting in
Orlando.
But we do not have to be overcome, overwhelmed,
completely disheartened and defeated by the darkness. In fact it is genuinely
important that we do not allow ourselves to believe the darkness will prevail.
We can still be agents of goodness, grace, truth and
light. That is my prayer.
The light of God is greater than the darkness.
