And For the Evening

Vouchsafed again! :)

O Eternal God, King of all creation, who hast vouchsafed me to attain to this hour, forgive me the sins which I have committed this day in thought, word, and deed, and cleanse, O Lord, my humble soul from every stain of flesh and spirit. Grant me, O Lord, to pass through the sleep of this night in peace, to rise from my lowly bed, and to please thy holy Name all the days of my life, and to vanquish the enemies both corporeal and incorporeal that contend against me. Deliver me, O Lord, from the vain thoughts that stain me, and from evil desires. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

~ St. Makary the Great, definitely a vouchsafe kinda guy!

It’s funny and odd how one never sees these things, and then, all of a sudden, there it is, again and again.
