Evening Prayer – 25 August 2018

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
For my sweetheart it has been a long day of sorting
Memories arise as she and her Dad worked at the house she grew up in
For me it has been a day of walking and reflection
A year ago yesterday two deaths in the parish
This began a difficult journey for our family, church, and community
Over the past year there has been so much loss
So much time spent in the Valley of the Shadows
It was three years ago that we were on the road
Traveling from Florida to Colorado
As I look back I see your fingerprints, Lord
As I look back I see your Spirit’s presence
Continue to walk with us as we serve
Continue to be with those who mourn
In your mercy, hear this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
