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…
