NIGHT PRAYER: Sunday 7/28

On Sundays, Night Prayer draws its inspiration from some element of the day's liturgy.  This evening we turn to the gospel from today's mass and the theme I developed in my homily: our hunger for knowing Jesus...

 

Make me hungry, Lord,

    for what feeds my heart,

    nourishes my soul

    and strengthens my will to do the right thing...

 

Make me hungry, Lord, 

    for what cleanses my thoughts,

    lifts my spirits 

    and purifies all my desires and passions...

Make me hungry, Lord,

    for the truth of your word,

    the grace of your Spirit

    and the beauty and splendor of all creation...

Make me hungry, Lord,

    for doing what's just,

    righting what's wrong

    and for making peace with my family and friends...

Make me hungry for you, O Lord,

    for the bread of your truth and your wisdom,

    the bread of your mercy and kindness,

    the bread of your patience and pardon

   and the bread of your gracious presence...

 

Make me hungry for you, O Lord,

    for the bread of your body, given for me,

    the bread of your body, bruised for me,

    the bread of your body, broken for me,

    the bread of your body, wounded for me,

    the bread of your body, pierced for me,

    the bread of your body, laid down for me,

    the bread of your body, entombed for me,

    the bread of your body, raised up for me,

    and the bread of your body, shared with me

        at the table of praise and thanksgiving...

Make me hungry for you, O Lord,

    and nourish and strengthen my heart and hands

to break and share the bread of my self

    with any and all who hunger for you,

        the bread come down from heaven,

            the Bread of eternal life...

 

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.
