Evening Prayer – 2 April 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

As the sun set in the western sky

We remember his mother quietly weeping at the foot of the cross

We remember his quick burial

Joseph and Nicodemus working lovingly against the clock

He is laid to rest

His body barely recognizable

Darkness has descended on the land

Darkness covers Peter’s very soul

Three times I denied him… and he knew that I would

At times I am Peter

At times I am Mary

Remembering… reflecting… praying…

As my eyelids grow heavy I remember

As I remember, I lift this humble prayer

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
