October 26, 2009

Here is this evening's prayer:

"We praise and thank you, O God,
for you are without beginning and without end.
Through Christ, you created the whole world;
through Christ you preserve it.
You made the day for the works of light
and the night for the refreshment of our minds and bodies.
Keep us now in Christ; grant us a peaceful evening,
a night free from sin; and bring us at last to eternal life.
Through Christ and in the Holy Spirit,
we offer you all glory, honor, and worship,
now and for ever. Amen."

From the Liturgy of Evening Prayer, Syria, 4th Century (United Methodist Book of Worship #574-5)
