Evening Prayer – 15 March 2019
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
My heart breaks tonight
Yet another senseless slaughter
Hatred and venom spewed from ignorance
Words became bullets and killed so many
When will it end, Lord, when will it end
In the words of the poet Robert Burns
Man’s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!
Shine your light in this darkness, Lord
May we stand together as one
Regardless of nationality
Regardless of the color of our skin
Regardless of our faith tradition
Regardless of our sexuality
May we stand together as one
May we stand as your children
United in one love
United in this prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem et in Terra
Grant Us Peace on Earth
May we be that Peace!
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Amen, Padre.
