MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

MENU

Collect

Jesus,
greater than Joseph could realise,
greater than the dead, lamented prophet,
to whom he lent his tomb;
accept our gratitude that you are pleased
with what we do for you.
Amen.

Thanksgiving

Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)

Prayer

Lord.
It is night.

The night is for stillness,
Let us be still in the presence of God.

It is night after a long day.
What has been done had been done;
what has not been done has not been done;
let it be.

The night is dark.
Let our fears of the darkness of the world
and of our own lives rest in you.

The night is quiet.
Let the quietness of your peace enfold us,
all dear to us,
and all who have no peace.

The night heralds the dawn.
Let us look espectantly to a new day,
new joys,
new possibilities.

In your name we pray.
Amen

The Blessing

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with us all evermore.
Amen

The divine Spirit dwells in us.
Thanks be to God.
