Simply Be the Light

December multilingual Beatitude

Be the light you want to see in the world.
Wherever you go, be the light.
Whomever you are with, be the light.
Whomever you talk to, be the light.

Be the light in times of suffering.
Be the light in times of trouble.
Be the light in times of misunderstanding.
Be the light in times of war.
Be the light in times of darkness.

Be the light that listens.
Be the light when the world is weary.
Be the light in spaces where fear thrives.
Be the light that warms the coldest hearts.
Be the light that softens hardened edges.
Be the light that endures, even when dimmed —

Simply Be the Light.
