NIGHT PRAYERS ADAPTED TO DIVINE WILL
“Lord, in Your Will and in Your Love, I am going to sleep, but my soul’s only desire is to be with you and to keep You company. Its activity alone will rest tonight, but all its powers belongs to You alone and may my heart keep for You its tenderest and most constant affection through its powers. Amen
