An Advent Calendar: Day 13

It is the "refrain" of this period of Advent, isn't it? - the darkness, the obscurity, inner and outer; and us going through it, guided only by the frail, apparently inconsequential (yet ultimately victorious), trembling light of faith - and of a barely daring (yet thirst-quenching) hope.


"Dans nos obscurités

Allume le feu qui ne s'éteint jamais."

"Within our darkest night

You kindle the fire that never dies away."

 

or, in another translation

"In our obscurities 

Kindle the light that will never be extinguished."
