Evening Prayer – 17 April 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
It has been a long day of study and writing
It has been a day of prayer and reflection
These words from Thomas Merton’s poem “Fire Watch” echo in my heart
The night, O My Lord, is a time of freedom.
I sit in darkness. I sit in human silence. I begin to hear the eloquent night.
In the darkness may we find rest
In the darkness may we find refreshment
In the darkness may we be surrounded by your loving presence
In the darkness may we finally be still
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…
