Evening Prayer – 21 October 2019
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
It was a long day, Lord
Yet your Spirit guided and encouraged
Ministry and meetings
You were fully in the mix
A late evening with my sweetie reading
Sharing with each other gems and jewels
I continue to be amazed by Fr Louis
By Thomas Merton as he was known to the public
His prophetic words ring so true today
Fifty-one years after his tragic death
His writings are incredibly relevant today
Yet in his words I find hope
In his words I find my calling
In his words I find companionship
In his words I find challenge
In his words I hear your call, Lord
May I not only pray for peace and justice
May I work for peace and justice too
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…
