A Prayer for the Night
Into Thy hands, O Lord, and into the hands of Thy holy ones, I commit this night my spirit and my body, my brothers and sisters, my friends, my cousins, my kin, my benefactors, and all Christian people: keep us this night, O Lord, by the intercessions and prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the saints, from sins, and from the enemy's snares, and from sudden death and the torments of Hell. Enkindle in my heart with the Holy Spirit and with Thy holy grace: and make me to be more obedient to Thy commandments, and let me never be separated from Thee. Amen.
--Early Medieval English prayer
