Evening Prayer and a Reflection – 6 August 2021

As I continue to recover from a long two-day journey I am thankful
I am thankful for my sweet wife and partner in life, love, and ministry
I am thankful for dear friends who offered an evening of reflection, stories, and laughter
I am thankful for a very dear Sister and our electronic conversation today
I am also thankful for a silly puppy who reminds me that it is time for bed

Thomas Merton’s words from his Collected Poems ring so true
Perhaps I am stronger than I think.
This is my prayer for my Dad, for Denise, for me, and for those whom I love
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…
