NIGHT PRAYER: Sunday 5/17

On Sundays, Night Prayer takes its lead from some element of the day's liturgy.  Tonight we remember Jesus' words in today's gospel: "Father, I pray for them, for the ones you have given me, because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours
and everything of yours is mine."

Lord, you know all my joys and sorrows:

make them channels of your grace,

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

Heal the hearts of those I've hurt,

mend any harm I may have done:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

In your mercy sweep my soul

of all my failings, faults and sins:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

Lift my spirits from the pits

up to the joy that's born of peace:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Clear my mind of idle thoughts,

of foolishness and folly:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Grant me grace to do for others

as I'd have them do for me:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Be my strength when I am weak, Lord,

be my hope when I'm in doubt:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Make me quick to kindly offer

mercy, pardon and forgiveness:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Open wide my heart to give

each time I'm tempted to be selfish:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Make me content with what I have, Lord,

turn my eye from envy's craving:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Give me patience with my neighbor

as with patience you love me:

   Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Make my heart your dwelling place

and your own heart my home...

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Ease my fears and calm my heart

while I lie restless and awake:

    Lord Jesus, hear my prayer... 

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

    and watch over me while I sleep,

that awake, I might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

In the heart of Jesus   There is love for you, Love most pure and tender,   Love most deep and true; Why should you be lonely,   Why for friendship sigh, When the heart of Jesus   Has a full supply?  In the mind of Jesus   There is thought for you, Warm as summer sunshine,   Sweet as morning dew; Why should you be fearful,   Why take anxious thought, Since the mind of Jesus   Cares for those He bought? In the home of Jesus   There’s a place for you; Glorious, bright, and joyous,   Calm and peaceful too; Why then, like a wand’rer,   Roam with weary pace, If the home of Jesus   Holds for you a place?
