Evening Prayer

[George]

Thank you Lord for all the blessings I've received this day.

[odhiambo]

Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake;
 watch over us as we sleep,
that awake, we may keep watch with Christ,
 and asleep, rest in his peace.
In Jesus Name.
Amen!

[odhiambo]

Eternal Father,
 I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits.
To expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life.
To purify the good I have done poorly this day and during all my life.
To supply for the good I ought to have done,
 and that I have neglected this day and 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 ever shall be,
 world without end.
 Amen.

[odhiambo]

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires
of hell; lead all souls into heaven, especially those who
have most need of Thy mercy.

[odhiambo]

The Jesus Prayer

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

[Shin]

Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

[odhiambo]

Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake,
 watch over us as we sleep,
that awake, we may keep watch with Christ,
 and asleep, rest in his peace.
In Jesus Name.
Amen!

[odhiambo]

Prayer for the Indwelling of the Spirit

Holy Spirit, powerful Consoler,
sacred Bond of the Father and the Son,
Hope of the afflicted,
descend into my heart and establish in it your loving dominion.
 Enkindle in my tepid soul the fire of your Love so that I may be wholly subject to you.
We believe that when you dwell in us, you also prepare a dwelling for the Father and the Son.
Deign, therefore, to come to me, Consoler of abandoned souls, and Protector of the needy.
 Help the afflicted, strengthen the weak, and support the wavering.
 Come and purify me.
Let no evil desire take possession of me.
You love the humble and resist the proud.
Come to me, glory of the living, and hope of the dying.
 Lead me by your grace that I may always be pleasing to you.
Amen.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

[odhiambo]

Psalm 27:1

 The Lord is my light and my salvation
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
    of whom shall I be afraid?

[Shin]

Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

A soothing psalm.

[odhiambo]

I waited patiently for the Lord's help;
then he listened to me and heard my cry.
He pulled me out of a dangerous pit,
out of the deadly quicksand.
He set me safely on a rock
and made me secure.
He taught me to sing a new song,
a song of praise to our God.
Many who see this will take warning
and will put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 40

[Shin]

 

[odhiambo]

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
We praise you and give you glory:
We bless you for calling us to be your holy people.

Remain in our hearts,
And guide us in our love and service.
Help us to let our light shine before others
And lead them to the way of faith.

Holy Trinity of love,
We praise you now and for ever.

Amen!

[Shin]

Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

[odhiambo]
