I’ve been working to make this site look better. Frankly, I don’t want to write on a blog where half of the stuff is written in Latin. There are still improvements to be made but this will do for now.
It’s been a relavatively long few months and it’s the end of another long day.
I like the end of the day. It’s quiet and peaceful and usually has a feeling of accomplishment and the hope of doing leisurely things. The sunset picture doesn’t really reflection my current situation (staring at my wall) but let’s just say that it’s for my benefit as well as yours… It has the loose association of also occuring at the end of the day…
Anyway, I was searching through the prayer book (AAPB) and found out there’s a service for the end of the day! Those guys thought of everything! Only yesterday was pontificating the merits of wearing robes in our church building at 7.30 on a Sunday morning….
For all of the crazy traditions that some Anglicans have, I’m fond of the simple, solid and focussed wording of some of the prayers.
In your mercy, Lord,
dispel the darkness of this night.
Let your household so sleep in peace
that at the dawn of a new day
they may with joy awaken in your name
through Christ our Lord. Amen
