祈る場面

Many Catholics say evening prayers at the end of the day or shortly before going to sleep. This is a time to thank God, reflect on the day, ask forgiveness and entrust the night to God's care. They may be prayed alone or with family.

由来

Prayer at the close of the day is a longstanding part of Catholic devotion, rooted in the Christian practice of daily prayer. The Church also has a formal Night Prayer, called Compline, within the Liturgy of the Hours; personal bedtime prayers need not follow that form.
