It's A New Day

In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
      and the shadow of death,
and guide our feet in the way of peace.

                        -from The Canticle of Zechariah
                          (Lk 1:78-79)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
      and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now,
     and will be forever. Amen.
