When the darkness of sin and evil surrounds an individual or group of people, it can very often lead to a loss of hope. It can appear that there is no light in the world.
The good news is that Jesus is with us in the Eucharist and his presence can be a light to all those experiencing darkness.
Here is a prayer adapted from Dom Prosper Gueranger's Liturgical Year, praying that the Eucharist will shine brightly for all to see, bringing hope to their weary hearts.
