Compline (night prayer) - Monday, 8 January 2021

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can not overcome it.

With this thought, and the ability to reflect and examine all in the light of Christ, we pray, lay it all down, and head for our beds.

Compline (night prayer) - Thursday, 4 February 2021

The day ends with so many needs before us - how can we not pray?
So many blessings given and received - how can we not rejoice?
So many far away from the knowledge of the love of God - how can we not weep?

Lord, in Your mercy - hear our prayers.

Compline (night prayer) - Monday, 1 February 2021

The day ends and all that it has been is laid down as the baton of prayer and praise follows the sun and it taken up by fresh lips.

As we go to our beds may we find rest and sleep in readiness of the baton's return.
