"Guide us waking, O Lord..."<br /><br />On the forgiveness, it's amazing how utterly clear that is! And how the Apostles tied the Lord's resurrection to the Father's begetting His Son into a whole new life and age where forgiveness reigns and death/corruption is history.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-72341082120689193142010-04-29T07:35:55.869-05:002010-04-29T07:35:55.869-05:00It has not been unknown for me to offer Compline w...It has not been unknown for me to offer Compline with a dying patient, sharing the assurance of Psalms 4 and 91 in particular, together with Jesus' reminder of rest in him with patients who are dying... at 2 PM or 2 AM, sun, rain, moon, or shine. I just insert the Litany for the Dying into the order... and I always make sure to chant the Nunc Dimittis.<br /><br />Rob+Bishop Robert Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264379235175793061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-3132991513855627522010-04-29T05:24:31.457-05:002010-04-29T05:24:31.457-05:00Will, two weeks ago in Weekday Church School, we w...Will, two weeks ago in Weekday Church School, we were studying what the Easter message meant for the church in Acts... my conclusion was that folks were sharing the forgiveness of sin. Normally I would say that the sharing the Easter gospel was sharing the resurrection from the dead, but really forgiveness is a resurrection from the dead and it is a resurrection that we can enjoy, live and thrive in before the grave. Around these parts there is a semi-Lutheran group that sings Compline at Heinz Chapel on the Pitt campus every Sunday night and in their advertising they say that Compline is "the church's way of saying goodnight."

I am just a layperson, but started a Book of Concord group at my church and we ended our first session with Compline. It is my intention to end every session with Compline as it is a perfect ending to studying God's Word at night and a solemn way to end the day.<br />-Peter SovitzkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
