One night, Maria and another Sister went down in a deep, dark cellar.

Suddenly! Their oil lamp WENT OUT!

"What shall we do?" cried the other Sister...
all frightened and worried.

Maria said a prayer. She trusted God would help.

SUDDENLY, the little lamp went on again!

"Just HOW could it burn? It's impossible!"

"Don't ever forget:
With God, everything is possible."

Try and trust God when you feel lost or scared.
Remember: You are in His hands.

Jesus. You are the light of the world.
May Your light always shine BRIGHTLY in our hearts.
