Evening Prayer – 11 September 2015

  
As we watched the Tattoo and listened to the Pipe & Drum bands and other bands I reflected upon all that had happened since that fateful day 14 years ago…
Looking at the tents, Lord

Watching the firelight flicker

I think of all those who are far away

Those who are in harms way

I think of all the lives lost

And my heart weeps
Lord, have we learned anything at all?

Have we learned how not to hate?

Have we learned how not to fear?

Have we learned how not to condemn?

Have we learned how not to be bigots?
Lord, in a world that is fractured

In a world filled with hatred and war

Help us, we pray

Help us be instruments of your peace

Help us to share the hope that comes from you
Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from a reflective Padre after a full day…
