“My Father, now that the voices have silenced and the cries have died down, here at the foot of the bed my soul rises to You, to say: I believe in You, I hope in You, and I love You with all my strength, glory to You, Lord!

I place in your hands the fatigue and struggle, the joys and disappointments of this day that is behind us. If my nerves betrayed me, if selfish impulses dominated me, if I gave way to resentment or sadness, forgive me, Lord!
Have mercy on me. If I was unfaithful, if I spoke words in vain, if I allowed myself to be carried away by impatience, if I was a thorn in the side of someone, forgive me Lord! Tonight I don't want to give in to sleep without feeling in my soul the security of your mercy, your sweet mercy that is entirely free. Sir!
I thank you, my Father, because you were the cool shadow that covered me throughout this day. I thank you because, invisible, affectionate and involving, you took care of me like a mother, at all these times. Sir! Around me everything is already silence and calm.
Send the angel of peace to this house. Relax my nerves, calm my spirit, release my tensions, fill my being with silence and serenity. Watch over me, dear Father, as I confidently surrender to sleep, like a child sleeping happily in your arms.

In your name, Lord, I will rest in peace. So be it! Amen.“
