A Day to keep Vigil

While shepherds watched in the stillness of the night

suddenly the glory of the Lord shone around them.

 

There are times when we can only pray

a hurried prayer, Lord in a busy day.

But there are times, too, when we have

the change to be more attentive to you,

like the shepherds keeping watch,

when your presence can shine upon us.

Lord, help us to keep vigil

when we have the chance. Amen.
