Hours
VESPERS (6 p.m.)
The sun makes ready for the night
and invites us to enter the Cenacle.There you implored the Spirit for the Church
who freed her from the scourge of half-heartedness,
guided her to the teaching of Christ
and enkindled in her the spirit of the apostles and the martyrs.That is how you want to work in our shrine:
strengthening our weak eyes of faith
so that we might see life as God sees it
and always walk by heaven’s light.In this light of faith let me see
how the Father’s love wished to accompany me today.
Let loyalty to our mission be my thanksgiving
for the boundless gifts he has showered on me in love.Glory be joyfully given to the Father
through Christ with Mary, highly praised,
in the Holy Spirit full of splendor
from the universe now and in all eternity.Amen.
