The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word, completorium meaning ‘completion’. It is a service of quiet and reflection before rest at the end of the day. Compline includes a confession of sins; one or more psalms; a short reading from scripture; responses; the Lord’s Prayer; collects which ask for God’s protection during the night to come; and the canticle Nunc dimittis. A hymn for the evening may follow the short reading from scripture. The collects may be followed by a time of silence, along with space to offer your own prayers of intercession and thanksgiving.
