PRAYER OF THE DAY

A Prayer for Protection

Watch, O Lord,
with those who wake,
or watch,
or weep tonight,
and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones,
O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones,
and all for Your love's sake.

Amen.
