Morning and Evening Prayer

From earliest times, Christians gathered at regular hours during each day and night to respond to God's word with praise on behalf of creation and with intercession for the salvation of the world. By the fourth century, if not earlier, morning and evening had emerged as the pre-eminent hours for the offering of this sacrifice of praise.

The services of Morning and Evening Prayer help Christians of our own day take part in this privelige and duty which belongs to all God's people. They may be celebrated in a very simple form, or enriched with a variety of optional chants and prayers.

The Common Worship service of Morning and Evening Prayer is offered here in contemporary language.

Night Prayer (Compline)

The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word meaning 'completion' (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness before the rest at the end of the day.

The Common Worship service of Compline is offered here in traditional language.

For prayer at home, there are some really good resources.  There is an excellent website run by the Jesuits that offers a creative daily resource for prayer.

If you would like to know more about different patterns of daily prayer do please ask one of the clergy.
