Some words for reflection:
Take heart, dear friends.
Not because the wind has fallen,
but because Christ has drawn near.
He comes through the dark
with peace on his lips
and mercy in his hands.
And if all we have
is a tired prayer
or a trembling heart,
still he comes.
For his voice is gentler than fear,
and his hand is stronger than the waves.
So take heart.
It is he.
And he will not let us go.
