Evening Prayer – 22 June 2015

 
Gracious Lord

We come before you with many cares and concerns

While we see the beauty of your creation
We also see the pain

Help us to be good stewards
Of the earth you charged us to care for

Help us to be compassionate and caring
For our sisters and brothers who are oppressed

Oppressed because of the color of their skin
Oppressed because of their religious belief

Oppressed because of their sexual orientation

Oppressed because of their economic status

Oppressed because they are somehow deemed different

As I look at this sunset
I see marvelous reminder of your grace

Help us to be an agent of that grace

Help us to be your light

Your light shining in the darkness

A wee prayer from the heart of this Padre for you this night…
