Evening Prayer – 14 April 2021
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
For some reason I am exhausted tonight
The exhaustion runs deep
Perhaps it is the constant violence in this nation and world
Perhaps it is my concern that we have become callous and indifferent
These words of Thomas Merton ring so very true
Violence is not completely fatal until it ceases to disturb us. Thoughts in Solitude
Renew and revive our sense of justice and compassion
Challenge us to truly love our neighbor
In the stillness I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem et in Terra
Grant Us Peace on Earth
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre..,
Dear Michael, thank you for your words that also resonate with me, in my own tiredness. I hope you will awake today with renewed energy.
Such powerful words from Thomas Merton and those beautiful words of blessing, ‘Donna Nobis Pacem et in Terra’. Thank you for these gifts.
Blessings to you, dear friend.
Amen!
