Evening Prayer – 31 July 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

On this feast day of Saint Ignatius of Loyola

I give you thanks, O Lord

For the wisdom of your Saints

For Ignatius

For Thomas Merton

For Francis of Assisi

For all of your children whom you have called

Lord, help us to be prophets

Speaking out against injustice

Speaking out against hatred

Speaking out against all that divides

As we seek to serve you, Lord

Make us instruments of your peace

Make us instruments of your justice

Make us instruments of your grace

Make us instruments of your mercy

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…
