Watch (Vigils) | 12:00 a.m.

Traditional hour: late night

Like nuns and monks at prayer, we can listen in the stillness of the night to hear God’s call.

 

Opening: God of love, when I rest, I feel you near.

Scripture:

I will dwell in your house forever; I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.
(Psalm 61:4)

Meditation: Consider the promise that God’s love is ever with you. How does it feel to rest in that care?

Prayers:

Spirit of comfort and longing,
enfold my fear,
unclothe my pride,
unweave my thoughts,
uncomplicate my heart,
and give me surrender:
that I may tell my wounds,
lay down my work,
and greet the dark. Amen.

Closing: God of love, when I rest, I feel you near.
