Dear Joan,
The Longest Night is a time for reflection. It is a time to reckon with challenges and the coldness of some of our days. It is a time to listen in the stillness that a long night brings. It is a time to dig deeper into gratitude and hope, knowing that the days will grow lighter and stronger. This Longest Night carries many world heartaches for us individually and collectively, as we are present with our diverse human community and our natural world community, both of which we are part.
Throughout all the dark nights of the soul and ponderings of how to walk forward into these times of polycrises with grace and Love, Interfaith Power and Light continues to root our mission in faith and community as we work together.
Thank you for being part of this community through prayer, work, and financial support.
May this excerpt from Jan Richardson's poem/prayer "Blessing for the Longest Night" (used with permission) be a gift of hope and light in our darkly night.
Blessings,
Sr. Joan Brown, osf
