Bathing the Darkness with Light

Family members, friends, and others gathered at a makeshift memorial of flowers, candles, and pride flags outside the Club Q nightclub where the Colorado Springs shooting occurred, extending their hearts to those beset by the tragedy. Chris Hansen, who survived the Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida years ago, said he hopes Club Q survivors and the LGBTQ community can "Stay in the light. Don't give up.  There's still hope, there's still love, and love wins. Don’t allow this to take away your happiness, your brightness, your community, your strength."
“There is so much goodness in the world. We see it everywhere. Every day, millions of people – more than millions – are touching others with kindness, generosity, and compassion. This is the trueness of humanity, of God in us. It bathes the darkness with light.” - Scott Awbrey
Prayer: “Radiant Goodness, today I turn to you as the source of Love. I remember your light dwelling within me. Keep me mindful of your transforming presence. Shine this goodness lovingly on each person with whom I come in contact. I send your love forth into our world. May all those who suffer find solace in you. May all of creation know your peace. Amen.” – Joyce Rupp
