Evening Prayer – 24 October 2020

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

It has been a long day, Lord

While we have been glued to newsfeeds

Our Rocky Mountain family has been living this in real time

Our firefighters working 16+ hour days

Especially a dear friend who was just certified as a volunteer firefighter

They are working around the clock

Protecting and defending our beloved National Park

The homes of our family, friends, and community

For our beloved community who has evacuated that they may feel your arms of love and peace wrapped around them

We lift heartfelt prayers for snow

We pray for energy for those who continue to fight the fires

We pray for our wildlife family

Lord, when prayers are too deep for words

When all we can do is weep

You know our hearts and hear our prayers

Thank you

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…
