Evening Prayer – 9 October 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

As the CoInspire conference ends

We face many challenges before us

As we ponder the sin of racism

As we ponder the hatred unleashed against so many

Against our Sisters and Brothers of Color

Against our Indigenous Sisters and Brothers

Against our LGBTQAI+ family

There is so much to confront

Loving God, give us the strength and resolve

Give us the endurance to fight this fight together

Help us to be Your instruments

Your instruments of love, justice, and restoration

Thank you as well for time with friends who are family

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…
