NIGHT PRAYER: Sunday 11/6

On Sundays, Night Prayer will focus on an element from the day's celebration of Mass. Tonight's prayer follows from the first reading and the gospel from today's mass and their teaching on life after death...

Because I believe you rose from the dead, Lord,

    because I believe that you live forever;

because I believe you've promised me life

    in a place you've made ready in heaven;

because I believe, through the gift of faith,

     that in death life is changed not ended;

because I believe you've welcomed in mercy

    the loved ones whose passing I sorely grieve;

because I believe that sadness will flee

    and joy once again fill my heart,

because I believe you will raise me up,

    I long for the life of the world to come....

 

Because I believe in the life you have promised:

    I rise in the morning and sleep through the night,

    I wait for your healing and trust it will come, 

    I pray through the tears you wipe from my face,

    I have hope for the world and for peace to be made,

    I trust in your pardon, forgiveness and mercy,

    I walk my path knowing you're at my side,

    I lean on you both in good times and bad,

    I walk in the darkness with my hand in yours,

    I have no fear of what's to come

        for you are my way, my truth and my life,

        my Redeemer, my Savior, my Lord...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

I know that my Redeemer lives
The One who calls me home
I long to see God face to face
To see with my own eyes

 

I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives, and I shall rise again

 

I know that I shall one day see
The goodness of the Lord
When God will wipe away our tears
And death will be no more

 

I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives, and I shall rise again

 

The last day I shall rise again
Shall be remade like God
My home shall be by God's own side
The dying, rising Lord

 

I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again

I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again
