Evening Prayer – 3 September 2016

The Vesper Lights flicker and glow 

As this sleepy Padre lifts up his Evening Prayer 

A long day of travel

A wonderful evening with family

Yet in the midst of celebration 

Sad news of a dear man’s passing

For my friends who mourn

I pray your comforting presence, Lord

Bless his sacred memory

In the words of William Shakespeare

May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest 

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
