Evening Prayer – 27 May 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
In a time when life can be made so complicated
By division and discord
By fear and mistrust
By political and religious differences
At times like this we need your gentle reminder, Lord
Help us to see the divine light around us
Remind us through words such as were shared by Merton
Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. — Thomas Merton in his final as Novice Master at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani
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…
