With Saint Francis Towards the Peace of Evening

Merciful Father, I thank You for every gift received on this day that is coming to an end.

In the silence of the evening, I contemplate Your goodness reflected in the small gestures of love I have encountered.

Like Saint Francis, guide my heart to discover joy in simple things and Your presence in nature.

Grant me the grace to entrust to You my worries and all that weighs upon me.

Bring comfort to my inner wounds, and light up the night with the light of hope.

Grant me serenity and deep peace during my rest.

Protect me and those I love, guard our dreams, and accompany every one of our tomorrows.

Amen. 🌿
