On Sundays, Night time Prayer will concentrate on a component from the day’s celebration of Mass. Tonight we replicate on the cry of these within the gospel story who discovered themselves locked out: “Lord, open the door for us!” After a brief prayer, tonight’s musical choice will give voice to those welcome phrases: “God will open a door for us…”
Too usually, Lord, I am unable to discover the important thing
to the door to my coronary heart’s need…
And generally I am simply afraid to open
the unlocked door I am dealing with…
Or too many doorways invite me, “Are available!”
and I do not know which one I ought to select…
Some days, Lord, I knock however it appears
my knock in your door goes unanswered…
I search the door that opens to you, Lord,
to you, your mercy, your peace…
So, tonight I pray:
hear me after I knock in your door,
open the door to my coronary heart’s need,
open my door to you and your mercy,
open the door that results in your peace,
open the door and welcome me in
to the place I will be at residence with you…
Shield me, Lord, whereas I am awake
and watch over me whereas I sleep
that awake, I would hold watch with you
and asleep relaxation in your peace…
Amen.
In in search of tonight’s music I found the work of Pepper Choplin – I am certain we’ll be listening to extra from him!
God will open a door…
The Spirit attracts us to it,
with religion we stroll via it
as we observe the Lord
via the open door…
