Dear Heavenly Father, we break the silence of the peaceful night. Saviour Divine cast thine eyes upon us! Pour on us the fire of thy mighty grace, that all hell may flee at the sound of the voice.
Thank You that my value in Your eyes is not determined by what I do but simply by the fact that You created me. Help me to recognize that same value in others as I represent You to the world. Give me grace to endeavor after a truly Christian spirit to seek to attain that temper of forbearance and patience of which my blessed savior has set me the highest example, and which, while it prepares me for the spiritual happiness of the life to come, will secure the best enjoyment of what the world can give.
O Christ, look with favor upon thy faithful people now gathered here to praise thee. Receive their hymns offered to thy endless glory. May they go forth filled with thy gifts.
Amen
