Together with millions of other Christians around the world we will be praying the words of Jesus, ‘Thy Kingdom Come’.

‘Compline’ is the ancient ‘office’ with which monastic communities end their day of prayer. The word comes from the Latin ‘completorium’ which means completion, so the day is complete when this time of prayer is offered. It is how the first Bishop of Norwich, Herbert de Losinga, and his community would have ended their day as Compline is derived from the Rule of St Benedict which the community followed. In community it is the beginning of the ‘Greater Silence’; after praying Compline, the community would be silent until the next day began to dawn and their prayer together began again.

The liturgy for each evening is available to download here.

Compline will be held every evening starting on Thursday 21 May (Ascension Day) until (and including) Saturday 30 May.
