Context: One thing that comes out in myths is that at the bottom of the abyss comes the voice of salvation. The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light.
“Grace is a power that comes in and transforms a moment into something better”

Context: I am convinced that the moment is coming when, with its message of eternal, universal values, it will come to the aid of our society. For in these words: "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," lie those very moral principles that will enable us to survive even the most critical situations.
“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”
“Even in the darkest moments, light exists if you have faith to see it.”
“A moment comes when "other" is no longer other.”
“When the moment comes, will you take your chance to be a hero?”
