Evening Prayer – 9 October 2017

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow 

It has been a day of prayer, reflection, and sadness

Wildfires in a place of beauty

Another death in our community of faith

Lives changed in an instance 

While people struggle and suffer

Continued lunacy in our nation’s Capitol

Politicians playing games with peoples lives 

All while victims of horrific events try to recover and rebuild 

Lord, in the midst of this darkness and insanity

May your light shine

Lord, in the midst of horror and fear

May your presence be known

Lord, in the midst of it all

May we know your peace

Walk with us, guide and sustain us in the midst of the Valley of the Shadows 

In the midst of it all, we lift this prayer 

Dona Nobis Pacem 

Grant Us Peace 

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
