FAITH IN 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!”
