The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
As we seek to serve you, Lord
As we seek to follow your path, Lord
As we seek to share the light of your love, Lord
As we seek to be instruments of your peace, Lord
As we seek to simply be your servants, Lord
Hear this humble prayer

Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
“On a true pilgrimage, we soon discover that the journey has its own rhythm and momentum. We realize, if our hearts are listening, that there are secret destinations that reveal themselves as our path unfolds.”

verse of the day
For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
– Mark 10:45
voice of the day
… Service is the rent we pay for living. It is the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time.
– Marian Wright Edelman
prayer of the day
Jesus, thank you that your wounds have paid our ransom. Humble me, Lord, to learn how to serve and sacrifice for others in love.
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
As we walk this journey of faith with you, Lord
As we seek to discern your way for us
As we seek to be witnesses to your grace, mercy, and love
As we seek to shine your light in the darkness
Encourage us, Lord, when we grow weary
Encourage us, Lord, when we doubt
Encourage us, Lord, when grow frustrated
Encourage us, Equip us, Sustain us
And always, Lord, hear our heartfelt prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace

“In cultivating photography as a contemplative practice, the camera becomes a tool to develop our ability to see more deeply, clearly, and truly, beneath the surface realities of the world around us and into the sacred presence shimmering in the world.”
— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice
Nothing else but the divine heartbeat…
Here, beneath the oak,
I listen to Your Heartbeat.
There is nothing else.
