Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by  Catholic CoffeeA Night PrayerJesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.Quote of the Day“To saints, their very slumber is a prayer.” -St. John of the Cross Today’s MeditationIf you asked a literary critic to name the best Christian Latin writers from the age of the Church Fathers, it’s likely that a majority of the names would be African. And if you homed in on the beginnings of Latin Christian literature, you’d find that the enduring works are almost all by North Africans. Theirs are the books most cited and antholigized to represent the end of the second century and the first half of the third century. In the span of a generation, Carthage produced giants such as Tertullian, Pope Victor I, Minucius Felix, and St. Cyprian. —P. 21 Mike AquilinaAn excerpt from Recommended ProductsItalian St. Joseph Statue with White Finish – 11.8″  Congratulations on Your First Communion CardExamination of ConscienceThe daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. Reflect on the victories and losses Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow. Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. Practice gratitude It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment.
