Pray Erday: Evening Prayer


Listen Later

Today we discuss Evening Prayer as we further our discussion of daily prayer. In this episode Brin quotes from the following source: "Thanksgiving for the Light: Toward a Theology of Vespers," Diakonia 13 (1978) p. 46.

"The Offices at the beginning and end of the day are just ritual moments symbolic of the whole of time. As such they are a proclamation of faith to the world and partake of our mission of witness to Christ and His salvation. They are also a praise and thanksgiving for this gift of salvation in Christ. Lastly they are our priestly prayer as God's priestly people for our needs and those of the entire world. That is what Liturgy means. That is what Vespers means. As a matter of fact, that is what life means."
