An ancient prayer from Apostolic Constitutions for evening, holy spirit, evening.
“Ye children, praise the Lord: Praise the name of the Lord.” We praise Thee, we sing hymns to Thee, we bless Thee for Thy great glory, O Lord our King, the Father of Christ the immaculate Lamb, who taketh away the sin of the world. Praise becomes Thee, hymns become Thee, glory becomes Thee, the God and Father, through the Son, in the most holy Spirit, forever and ever.
Amen.
This prayer is for evening, holy spirit, evening. It gives the request old words: fewer tricks, more flame.
Lord, hear this ancient prayer for evening, holy spirit, evening. Give mercy, strength, and a heart made faithful before Thee. Amen.
This prayer comes from the ancient church’s habit of asking directly: for mercy, for holiness, for protection, for light. It does not perform spirituality. It reaches for God.
Use it as written, or let it become a frame for the person and need in front of you.
