Our Jewish neighbors are celebrating the eight nights of Hanukkah. Alden Solovy has just posted a Hanukkah prayer that burns and shines with faith and hope and the promise of miracles...
Light From Beyond
When you look
With all of your heart
Into the flames
Dedicated to miracles,
You may glimpse
That special light
God created
On the first day of existence.
How comforting to know
That God’s holiness
And majesty
Still reach this world
Of war and terror.
How wonderful to feel
That God’s love
And blessings
Still shine
To warm our souls.
How glorious to see
That mysteries from heaven
Still wait in secret
To bring joy and light
To all of creation.
When you look
With all of your heart
Into the Hanukkah lights,
You will see
That miracles
Beyond our sight
Will one day bring joy and peace
Beyond our deepest yearning.
