Evening Prayer – 15 July 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

For tonight’s Session meeting worship our focus was on peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace

Praying as well for our community and families

In the words of Thomas Merton:

When I pray for peace, I pray not only that the enemies of my own country may cease to want war, but above all that my country will cease to do the things that make war inevitable. (New Seeds of Contemplation, p. 121)

May we indeed strive to be nonviolent peacemakers

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…
