A short night Prayer before bed

Say this Prayer before Sleep 

In the name of the Father † and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. God is our refuge and strong hold, he is always there to help us in times of desolation, so we shall not fear though the earth should rock, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea; even though its waters rage and foam, even though the mountains be shaken by its waves…

Come to visit us, Lord, this night, so that by your strength we may rise at daybreak to rejoice in the resurrection of Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.Save us, Lord, while we are awake; protect us while we sleep; that we may keep watch with Christ and rest with him in peace.

The Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. Amen.

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known

that anyone who fled to thy protection,

implored thy help,

or sought thy intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence

I fly unto thee,

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

To thee do I come,

before thee I stand,

sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

“The Patronage Prayer”

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
