Evening Prayer – 10 September 2019
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
We are home now from our journey
Fellowship, laughter, family, and love
Yet I am still haunted
Haunted by the images from our past
When so-called christians saw biblical rationale
Rationale to own another human being
The stain on our nation is large
The tears and the cries are still heard
From prisons and workhouses
To chain gangs and slave labor
As I prepare for sleep
I cannot shake these images or sounds
Lord, may I never forget
Lord, may I never stop speaking out
Speaking out against all forms of injustice
To you, I lift this humble prayer
A prayer for those who see no light
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
Grant to them true and everlasting peace and freedom
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
