EVENING PRAYER

✝️ EVENING PRAYER 🙏

Into thy hands, Mary, I commend my body and my soul, I ask thee to provide for them and to protect them. I ask thee to protect them from the evil one. I ask thee enlighten my mind, strengthen my will, and refrain my appetites by grace. Our Lady and St. Michael, call down from Heaven the legions of angels under your command to protect me; I ask of thee all the things I ask of my Guardian Angel. My Guardian angel, under thy intellectual and volitional protection I place my body. I ask thee to illumine my mind and refrain my appetites. I ask thee to strengthen my cogitative power, my memory and my imagination. Help me to remember the things I should and not remember the things I should not. Help me to associate the things I should and not to associate the things I should not. Give me good clear images in my imagination. I ask thee to drive away all the demons that might affect me while I sleep (or throughout the course of the day). (Help me to sleep and, if thou should deem it prudent, direct my dreams. Help me to arise refreshed). Amen.

Evening Prayer

 

Lord,

You bless us as we rest

Restore us as we sleep

You care for us as we drift off

And make our dreaming sweet.

You are the safest place

You are the God of Grace

Forgiven, loved and held by you

Is each small seed of faith.

You know our thoughts and feelings

You see our deep desires

You understand our weariness

And catch each tear we cry.

You walk beside us every day

You are a constant friend

You stay with us all through the night

On you we can depend.

Evening Prayer

O my God, at the end of this day

I thank you with all my heart

for all the graces I have received from you.

I am sorry that I have not made a better use of them.

I am sorry for all the sins I have committed against you.

Forgive me, O my God,

and graciously protect me this night.

Blessed Virgin Mary, my dear mother,

take me under your protection.

St. Joseph, my dear Guardian Angel,

and all you saints of God, pray for me.

Amen.

Evening Prayer to God the Father

O eternal God and Ruler of all creation,
You have allowed me to reach this hour.
Forgive the sins I have committed this day by word,
deed or thought.
Purify me, O Lord,
from every spiritual and physical stain.
Grant that I may rise from this sleep to glorify You
by my deeds throughout my entire lifetime,
and that I be victorious over every spiritual
and physical enemy.
Deliver me, O Lord,
from all vain thoughts and from evil desires,
for yours is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
now and ever, and forever.

Amen.
