Watch, O Lord (St. Augustine)

**Evening prayer for the sick. To submit a prayer request, visit our prayer wall.**


Christ healing the paralytic at Bethesda, by Palma il Giovane, 1592.

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.


“HUMILITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THE OTHER VIRTUES HENCE, IN THE SOUL IN WHICH THIS VIRTUE DOES NOT EXIST THERE CAN NOT BE ANY OTHER VIRTUE EXCEPT IN MERE APPEARANCE.”

…Saint Augustine, 354-430 A.D.
