Evening Prayer – 18 November 2020

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

It has been a long, yet productive day

Ministry planning and preparation

Meetings and worship recording

Yet there is also a tinge of sadness tonight

Our friend Bill Pelke died yesterday

He fought against the death penalty for so many years

His story is inspiring Bill’s Obituary

So many good people have died this year

A quarter of a million people have died this year from COVID-19

Famous or anonymous, they each have names and stories

Hold them close in your loving heart, O God

May your Spirit guide us through this Valley of the Shadows

May we make decisions not for ourselves alone

May we make decisions because we love all of our neighbors

All of our neighbors who are made in Your image

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…
