Compline finds its origins in the night prayers said before bed at the end of the monastic round of daily prayer. It is a simple office including a confession of sins, one or more psalms, a short reading from scripture, versicles and responses, the Lord's Prayer, collects which ask for God's protection during the night to come, and the canticle Nunc Dimittis (Luke 2:29-32). A hymn for the evening may follow the short reading from scripture.

It is an office that invites prayer and reflection. Join us online at the day's close as God and his Church invite us to lay aside the day's cares and to find in the night's quiet and darkness the rest we long for.

We gather via Zoom (the password is compline ) on Wednesdays at 7pm throughout July for a quiet reflective ending to the day.
