Vespers April 2nd

Pastor Zeb was unable to host a zoom room tonight because they are at the vet managing a pet's emergency situation. The emergency is abating and we should be home soon.

In lieu of that online service. Please join in this practice as you are able.

For this vespers blessing tonight. Take a moment to catch your breath and cup your hands in front of you. Imagine a gentle flame of comfort and warmth sitting in your cupped hands. And bring to mind an image that is joy and beauty.

A sunset

A dear friend

An animal companion

A place of serenity

A song that makes your heart leap

Hold that image dear, make it your hearth fire for the night.

And as you are ready to end your prayer, soak in this traditional prayer and blessing to the Saint and Goddess Brigid, the lady who blessed our coming and our going.

Saint Brigid.

You were a woman of peace.

You brought harmony where there was conflict.

You brought light to the darkness.

You brought hope to the downcast.

May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled and anxious,and may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and in our world.

Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all the Holy has made.

Brigid you were a voice for the wounded and the weary.

Strengthen what is weak within us.

Calm us into a quietness that heals and listens.

May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind, body and spirit.

Amen.
