In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the ancient Vespers hymn Deus Creator Omnium — “God, Creator of All Things” — composed by St Ambrose in a time of persecution and fear. This powerful evening prayer invites us to hand over our burdens, anxieties, and exhaustion to God at day’s end, trusting in His providence and loving care. Explore how rest becomes an act of faith, how night can be filled with hope rather than fear, and how even our final thoughts can rise in quiet praise to the Holy Trinity.

What does it mean to entrust our nights to God? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on Deus Creator Omnium, the ancient hymn by St Ambrose written for Saturday evening prayer. Through its verses, we discover God’s providential care in creation, His gift of sleep as preparation for new life, and the call to end each day with thanksgiving. Even in life’s darkness, faith shines as a new light.

Why are we so drawn to beauty — and why does it never seem to fully satisfy us? In this reflection, Fr Gavan explores the restless heart of St. Augustine, a man who chased earthly beauty only to discover that his deepest desire was for God Himself. Drawing from Augustine’s Confessions and the wisdom of the Church, we’ll discover how our longing for beauty points us to the Creator, the only One who can truly fulfill our hearts.
