Evening Prayer – 22 January 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

It has been a long day of studying and reading for class

It was also a long day for the three of us as Pixie recovers from her visit to the Vet

It has also been a time to simply Be Still

As I ponder the road we are on individually and as a nation

These words of Thomas Merton in Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander speak to my heart

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.

Help us to live fully in the present moment with courage, faith, and hope

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…
