Compline (night prayer) - Sunday, 31 January 2021

The glimpse of light in the darkness of night brings hope and the courage to go on.

A truth that applies in our daily living and our spiritual journey.

A truth that finds its reality in the light and love of Jesus the Christ, the incarnate God and the reflection that is compline.

Reflecting on the week. now ending we gather all that has been and reflecting, rejoicing, repenting and praying for it all, we lay it at the foot of the cross and head for our beds in anticipation of the Eucharist tomorrow and the Presentation.

Gathering all before us, we come to the Lord and praying for all the day has been, held and delivered we lay it at the foot of the cross as we head to our beds and sleep.

Grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end we pray.

Compline (night prayer) - Wednesday, 27 January 2021 (Holocaust Memorial Day)

Holocaust Memorial Day and as we reflect on loss and the cruelty of humanity we also reflect on the acts of good people and the love of a God who takes on flesh that we might be reconciled to God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

Sleep well - stay safe - wake expectantly.

Compline (night prayer) - Tuesday, 26 January 2021

So many things take on a greater import and sadness when milestones are passed.

Today as the UK death toll passes 100,000 deaths we commit those whose lives have gone to Your Grace, love, care and mercy.

We pray also for them that mourn and for the healing of our world in all its brokeness.

Compline (night prayer) - Monday, 25 January 2021

As we gather all that the day has contained we reflect, rejoice, repent and release all into God's gracious and kindly care as we head for our beds.

Lord may sleep be the gift and reality of of all this night.
