She thinks the #breviary ribbons are just for her.

#Compline #DivineOffice #NightPrayer

I lie in my bed
As I would lie in the grave,
Thine arm beneath my neck,
Thou Son of Mary victorious.
Angels shall watch me
And I lying in slumber,
And angels shall guard me
In the sleep of the grave.
Uriel shall be at my feet,
Ariel shall be at my back,
Gabriel shall be at my head,
And Raphael shall be at my side.
Michael shall be with my soul,
The strong shield of my love!
And the Physician Son of Mary
Shall put the salve to mine eye,
The Physician Son of Mary
Shall put the salve to mine eye!

Photographer captured capturing the Advent candle at #compline tonight.

So last night we once again did an #OnlineChurch #NightPrayer. Next week it will be #BCP #Compline. We’re over 2 years of gathering the Thursday Community for a weekly service. A priest, a deacon, a deacon-in-the-program, a #Methodist #pastor. Folks from 3 different states, and 9 different churches. The last time I brought this up was under a different userid/instance.
I know this doesn’t fly with the institutional church, but I continue to maintain that #TEC is missing opportunities.

Creator God,
send your Holy Spirit to renew this living world,
that the whole creation,
in its groaning and striving,
may know your loving purpose
and come to reflect your glory;
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christ the Kind, bind us together in unity, remembering your love at the end of this Church calendar & remind us of your promise of joy, peace & endless love, as we journey on.

Today’s smol joy: the chance to read a bit of this beautiful book in Trinity chapel and offer a short reflection on what the service of compline offers our bodies as well as our minds and souls.
