Your Night Prayer

Night Prayer Noah's Ark by Luini Learn More Today's email Partner is: Trinity Road A Night Prayer Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen. Quote of the Night “And Mary said, 'My soul glorifies the Lord.'” —Luke 1:46-55 Today's Meditation "I think most people have felt this. Looking forward to the temptation they anticipate, they know that they can resist, or, at any rate, that they can avoid it; and looking back after the sin has been committed, they are filled with shame and remorse and self-condemnation. But at the moment it seemed as if all the succors of their nature fell back and they were swept away in the strong currents of blinding passion. And this is undoubtedly true. Who would be so rash as to assert that at any moment every man is free without impediment to choose as he wills? That the action of the will is unhampered by the past? That however often a man has yielded to a sin, at any moment the will is absolutely free from the power of that sin?" —Basil W.

It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition. Reflect Reflect on the victories and losses Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?

Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
