本週禱文 (28/1-3/2)

(英格蘭教會的晚禱文)
創造世界的主啊,在這一天結束之前,我們向祢祈禱,
祈求因著祢不動搖的愛,來保守我們。
當我們安睡時,求祢在四周看顧我們。
讓噩夢不要攪擾我們,
讓懼怕和恐懼不要來侵擾我們;
在仇敵面前,安穩我們的腳步;
讓我們脫離罪惡的思想。
哦天父啊,這些祈求祢都成就,
藉著耶穌基督,祢的獨生子
和聖靈的呼吸,
讓我們的靈魂從死中復生。

(From the Church of England's Night Prayer)
Before the ending of the day, Creator of the world, we pray,
That you, with steadfast love, would keep,
Your watch around us while we sleep.
From evil dreams defend our sight,
From fears and terrors of the night;
Tread underfoot our deadly foe,
That we no sinful thought may know.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, your only Son;
And Holy Spirit, by whose breath,
Our souls are raised to life from death.
