Parish Notices Sunday 12th July 2015

The Rector writes ‘’During the summer months, when the Monkstown Chamber Choir are on holidays, we substitute the Choral Evensong with a Service of Compline. This ancient but now neglected Service is to be found in our Prayerbook on page 154. The first words in it are ‘The Lord Almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end’ which I think sums up so beautifully this Service in its quietness and perfection. Compline is the final church service (or office) of the day in the Christian tradition of canonical hours. The English word Compline comes from the Latin completorium, because Compline is the completion of the working day. The word was first used in this sense about the beginning of the 6th century by St. Benedict. Compline is a contemplative service that emphasizes spiritual peace. In many monasteries it is still the custom to begin the “Great Silence” after Compline, during which the whole community, including guests, observes silence throughout the night until the morning service the next day. If you are free tonight, do come along and partake but I won’t expect you to keep silent afterwards!’
