Evening Prayer – 19 April 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

As the sun went down

I considered those who loved Jesus

Those who followed him

Those who saw his lifeless body taken down from the Cross

Those who placed his body in the tomb

We have to imagine

We must put ourselves in their shoes

As the last rays of daylight faded

All they could do was pray, weep, and wonder

Lord, help us not to take you for granted

Help us not to take your love for granted

Now, as my eyelids grow heavy

I lift this humble prayer to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
