Evening Prayer

[George]

Lord, you show us the path to life. With joy we pray:
Christ Jesus, hear us.

Help us to recognize you in the breaking of the bread and in one another.
Christ Jesus, hear us.

Animate your church to be a living witness of your unsurpassing love.
Christ Jesus, hear us.

Grant to all who have died a share in your resurrection.
Christ Jesus, hear us.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with us always.
Amen

[odhiambo]

Glory be to the Father,
 and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
Now and forever
Amen!

Eternal Father
I offer Thee the
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
with all its love, suffering and merits,
to expiate all the sins I have committed this day
and during all my life.
Amen!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Heavenly Father, You say to us :
“I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD.
When they call to me,
 I will answer them; when they are in trouble,
I will be with them.
 I will rescue them and honor them.
 I will reward them with long life;
 I will save them.”
Psalm 91: 14-16

Almighty God, we believe in You; we trust in You.

[odhiambo]

Lead, Kindly Light

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home—
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene—one step enough for me.

because they have offended You who are so good.

to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.

Psalm 89
A prayer of Moses the man of God.

Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.

Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.

Turn not man away to be brought low:
and thou hast said:
Be converted, O ye sons of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,

Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.

In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away:
in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.

For in thy wrath we have fainted away:
and are troubled in thy indignation.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes:
our life in the light of thy countenance.

For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years:
and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us:
and we shall be corrected.

Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear

Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known:
and men learned in heart, in wisdom.

Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.

We are filled in the morning with thy mercy:
and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.

We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us:
for the years in which we have seen evils.

Look upon thy servants and upon their works:
and direct their children.

And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us:
and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits.

First, to expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be forever. Amen.

Second, to purify the good I have done poorly this day and during all my life. Glory Be. . .

Third, to minister for the good I ought to have done, and that I have neglected this day and all my life. Glory Be. . .

A Poor Clare, who just died, appeared to her Abbess who was praying for her, and said to her: "I went straight to heaven, for, by means of this prayer, recited every evening, I paid all my debts."


This is one of my favorite prayers.

PRAYERS AT NINE O'CLOCK.

O divine Heart of my Jesus ! I adore Thee. I love Thee, and with all my companions I supplicate Thee to be propitious to me, every moment of my life, but particularly at the hour of my death. Sacred Heart of Jesus! who lovest us without any return of love, inflame in our hearts the fire of Thy divine love. Jesus, sovereign bounty! open Thy sacred heart to us; we regard it as the centre of our happiness; do not permit us to be ever separated from it by any sin. O bright Sun of the Church! diffuse on our souls the influences of Thy grace; render them susceptible of Thy love, produce in them those virtues most pleasing to Thee, namely: the lily of purity, the violet of humility, the pink of devotion, the rose of ardent charity. Hail, sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, to whom I consecrate my heart and life!
