Evening Prayer – 7 September 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

When you don’t know what to say

When you don’t know what to pray

When the darkness in the Valley of the Shadows overwhelms

It is then that the Spirit intercedes for us

Lord, speak in the silence of my heart

Speak for your servant is trying to listen

From Compline I lift this prayer

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

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…
