All Hallows Evening Prayer for Saturday Evening (February 27, 2021) Is Now Online


All Hallows Evening Prayer is a service of worship in the evening for all pilgrims on the journey to the heavenly city.

Rather than giving up something, Lent is a good time to take up something new such a new spiritual practice—something that will help us grow spiritually and which we can keep up after the Lenten season is behind us. Lectio Divina, for example. The practice of the presence of God. Arrow prayers. Breath prayer. Centering prayer. All these spiritual practices will enrich our spiritual lives. They are also means of grace. 

John Wesley, Anglican priest and founder of the Methodist Movement, urged his followers not to idly wait for God’s grace to come to them but to actively cultivate the means of grace in their lives. Through the means of grace, they would open themselves to how and where God was working in their lives.

The Scripture reading for this Saturday evening is Colossians 1: 3-14 Thanksgiving and Prayer

The homily is titled, “In Tune with God’s Will.”

The second psalm is Ken Canedo’s paraphrase of Psalm 91, “Be With Me, Lord,” available from Oregon Catholic Press (OCP). The dismissal song is Steven C. Warner’s “Tune My Heart According to Your Word.” It has a mantra-like ostinato refrain. It is available from GIA Publications.
