MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Collect

Jesus, you spoke
as no one ever spoke before or after you;
and you chose Antony by his preaching
to win thousands from selfishness to love;
help us also to overcome our frailty
and use for you every gift we have.
Amen.

2 1O Timothy, my son, be strong with the strength Christ Jesus gives you. 2For you must teach others those things you and many others have heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn, pass them on to others.

3 Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, just as I do.

. . . . . 2 Timothy 1:13,14; 2:1-3

Our Father,
save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.

Dear Lord,
watch with those who wake or watch or weep tonight,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep;
tend your sick ones,
rest your afflicted ones, shield your joyous ones,
and all, for your love’s sake.
Amen

The Blessing

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with us all evermore.
Amen

The divine Spirit dwells in us.
Thanks be to God.
