Description:
The service of Compline is the last liturgical hour of the day and seeks God's forgiveness for our sins during the past day and blessing for the coming night. For most of the year, this service takes the form of Small Compline, an abbreviated and re-arranged form of the Great Compline served during Great Lent. Following the usage of Holy Trinity Monastery (Jordanville, NY), the order incorporates prayers before sleep from the Jordanville Prayer Book and a litany of saints chanted while venerating icons at the completion of the service. Suitable for use at home or in church.
Read by many Orthodox Christians as part of their daily prayer rule, the Service of Small Compline holds a special place in the life of Holy Trinity Monastery. The brotherhood gathers every evening for common prayer as a last obedience before retiring to their individual cells. The service is presented here according to the usage of Holy Trinity Monastery, complete with the Prayers Before Sleep.
