A Peaceful Close to Every Day
*Night Prayer* is a compact, beautifully designed devotional book that guides Catholics through the Church's official evening prayer, also known as Compline, the final Hour of the Liturgy of the Hours. Structured to bring calm and reflection at the end of the day, this handy-size edition makes the ancient practice of Night Prayer accessible for personal use at home or in community settings.
Each day's prayer follows a consistent, meaningful rhythm: an introduction, an examination of conscience, a hymn, one or more psalms with antiphon and psalm-prayer, a short scripture reading and response, the Gospel Canticle of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis), a concluding prayer, a final blessing, and a closing antiphon in honor of Mary. Printed in two colors with a flexible burgundy binding, this edition is as practical as it is prayerful.
