A man lights candles in honor of school shooting victims

We are called to be sentinels of hope
Seers of the unseen
Doers of the word
Living by a power not from us
Loving from a source inexhaustible
Believing in a reality unknown
Holding out for peace and healing
Standing up for justice and truth
Speaking up for the oppressed
Praying for those forgotten
Reaching out to the lonely and rejected
Hearing the voiceless
Breathing in gratitude for the blessings
Being at peace within ourselves and our world
Persevering on the path
Throwing our hands up in praise
And our heads back in laughter
Greeting each new day as it comes
Grateful
To be sentinels of hope
