Evening Prayer – 10 December 2021

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

It has been a busy day of work with my sweetheart

Trips to the recycle center and thrift store as she sorts through her dad’s estate

Sorting through memories and sharing stories

This has been a long process for my sweetheart (nine weeks and counting)

It has been good to spend the time helping and supporting her

It has also been a day of prayer and reflection

As Thomas Merton said in his book, No Man Is An Island—In Silence, God ceases to be an object and becomes an experience.

May this experience continue to be a blessing dear Lord

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…
