† Compline [Night Prayer] "Padre Pio Devotions" "O God, come my aid. O Lord, make haste to help me.Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end." [This is an excellent moment for an examination of conscience. In a communal celebration of Compline, one of the penitential acts given in the Missal may be recited...] "Now that the daylight dies away, By all thy grace and love,Thee, Maker of the world, we pray to watch our bed above.Let dreams depart and phantoms fly, the offspring of the night, keep us, like shrines, beneath thine eye, pure in our foe’s despite. This grace on thy redeemed confer, Father, co-equal Son, And Holy Ghost, the Comforter, Eternal Three in one." † Amen.
