NIGHT PRAYER: Sunday 1/12

On Sundays, Night Prayer will focus on an element from the day's celebration of Mass. Tonight we'll riff on a line from the gospel: "And a voice came from heaven, 'You are my beloved Son...'"

Lord, the heavens opened

and your Father's voice spoke:

    You are my beloved Son...

 

Now my heart opens up

and my voice prays:

    Lord, you are my beloved...

    You're my beloved best friend,

    my cherished companion,

    my trusted big brother...

    my beloved good shepherd,

    my pilot, my captain,

    my guardian, my guide...

 

    my beloved wise teacher,

    my comrade, my confidant,

    my standby and backup...

    my beloved gentle healer,

    my instructor, my coach,

    my partner, my helper...

    my beloved selfless backer,

    my consoler, my counselor,

    my advocate and mentor...

 

    my beloved faithful sidekick,

    my protector, my defender,

    my savior and redeemer...

 

    my beloved abiding ally,

    mi amigo, mon ami,

    my lookout and shadow...

 

You are my beloved, 

    my Lord and my God

and by mercy and grace,

    I am yours evermore...

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. 

Tonight's song is slow paced and reflective:

    give it time and let in draw you into prayer...
