liturgy of the hours (evening prayer)

Evening Prayer is celebrated in order that we may give thanks for what has been given us or what we have done well during the day. We also recall our redemption and that evening sacrifice of the Lord’s Supper with the apostles. There he instituted the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist. He was anticipating the sacrifice he was to offer to the Father on the next day. We ask Christ to give us the grace of eternal light which knows no setting.*

God, come to my assistance.

℟. Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory be. . . . Alleluia.
