O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
We sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.
BCP, 112

A beautiful picture...and one of my favorite prayers in the BCP! My favorite line..."you are worthy at ALL times to be praised by HAPPY
voices. (emphasis, of course, mine!)
I love the gift that we have been given, of sharing in the corporate life each time we say something like the Phos Hilaron...surpassing mere physical space to be together at the grander, all-incorporating altar. This gives me comfort at this time!
Oh, the word verification letters begin with 'cj'! Yes, we are all eternally connected, not later, but at this very moment.
