Vespers - Evening Prayer, 10-13-2025, Monday, Twenty-Eighth Week of Ordinary Time

Now fades all earthly splendor, The shades of night descend; The dying of the daylight Foretells creation's end. Though noon gives place to sunset, Yet dark gives place to light: The promise of tomorrow With dawn's new hope is bright. So will the new creation Rise from the old reborn To splendor in Christ's glory And everlasting morn. All darkness will be ended As faith gives place to sight Of Father, Son and Spirit, One God, in heaven's light. Sacred Beauty common prayer: Sacred Beauty is an Approved Private Association of the Faithful in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, devoted to allowing the beauty and holiness of God to be made present in the world, first through Eucharistic contemplation, then through artistic and intellectual creativity and receptivity informed by and dedicated to Jesus in the Eucharist. We pray the Office of Readings and Evening Prayer daily on YouTube; click “open transcript” to pray with us. With gratitude to the administration of St. John XXIII Parish, West Haven, CT, for permitting us to record our prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in their beautiful church of St. John Vianney.
