Blessings in the Dark

This Lent we will explore what it means to be in the dark moments of our lives. We are not going to talk about just how to get out of it, as if life is only good when we are not there. We will consider what it might mean for each of us to recognize the gifts of the darkness. How can times of uncertainty, failure, and emptiness be opportunities for spiritual formation? God is present and at work with us in the dark as well as the light.
