Perfect Night Prayer For Bed

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 

Glory be, to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

a world without end. AMEN

 

O my God, I thank You for having preserved me today and for

having given me so many blessings and graces. I renew my

 dedication to You and ask Your pardon for all my sins.

 (review the day quietly then pray The Canticle of Simeon which follows)

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 (alleluia). Lord, now let Your servant go in peace;

 according to Your word: for my eyes have seen Your salvation

which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples: a light

 for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to Your people Israel.

 (Luke 2:29–32) 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. 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 (alleluia).

 

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,

implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins,

my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful

and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise

not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
