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 “Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.” St. Francis de Sales Today's Meditation "Hence, if Jesus is ever descending, why should we wish to ascend? The soul that is transformed into Him wishes to share His lot, to go where He goes and to abase itself whither He has abased Himself. And, inflamed with the divine madness of Jesus, it possesses an insatiable desire of self-effacement. It becomes little with Jesus in the crib, and it offers itself as a victim on Calvary. It wishes, like Jesus, to be a living host and to disappear from view and to treasure its hidden God under the veil of its misery. But in the depth of that mystical effacement, which is the spiritual life, in the distinct stages of that glorious de­scent, the soul ever rises. This it does because, first of all, it approaches God, then it becomes united to Him, and finally it becomes transformed into Him forever. And God is the highest; He is the supreme summit; He is the one and only Most High. The secret of perfection, then, consists in that divine paradox, “one ascends by descending,” and the soul that understands it and never tires of descending finds rest and happiness in the heart of God, in accordance with the profound thought of St. John of the Cross: “In order to come to be all, desire in all things to be nothing.” —Luis Martinez An excerpt from When God is Silent: Finding Spiritual Peace Amidst The Storms of Life SHOP NOW When God is Silent: Finding Spiritual Peace Amidst The Storms of Life Watch the Night Prayer Podcast on YouTube Join Fr.

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.
