Prayer Appointed for the Week (April 3 - April 9)

Well friends, we have come to an impasse. In her work The Divine Hours, Phyllis Tickle has added a Compline for the end of each month. This is structured a little differently than the typical week-by-week prayers in that they are to be observed in the evenings only. ALSO, with being this close to Holy Week and Easter, after the March Compline comes a whole weeks worth of different prayers specifically designated for Holy Week and Easter. Therefore, I will be taking our PAftW from different Night Offices until Palm Sunday (which is only 2 weeks away so it's not like it will throw us off that much) and then I may actually post something from The Divine Hours daily throughout Holy Week just because I think they will be fun (I haven't decided on this yet, but we shall see). Anywho, this week I shall take our PAftW from The Final Thanksgiving section of the March Compline. So without further adieu:

Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised;
for these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see: a Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen.
