I read it through and then reread it again the next day. It is a wonderful volume for families and for little ones. I really wish it had been available when my own children were younger. I have given my children several prayer books over the years and this is one I would have picked up a copy for each of my kids.\r\n\r\nThe description of this volume states:\r\n\r\n“Visit we beseech thee Lord\r\nThis house in which we dwell,\r\nLet Angels who abide herein\r\nThe devil’s snares dispel,\r\nIn peace, please keep our weary heads,\r\nAnd your blessings always as well.\r\nThrough Christ our Lord,\r\n\r\nAmen.\r\n\r\nTeach your children the timeless rhythm of prayer with A Very Little Office of Compline. When praying the psalms and hymns of the Divine Office in the given hours of the day, we truly “pray without ceasing.” This gift of prayer that orients us always toward God can be enjoyed by even the littlest of souls. Compline, prayed in the last hour, is especially enriching for children because it sets a nighttime prayer routine. Compline includes psalms and hymns that ask God for His protection while we sleep. A Very Little Office of Compline can be used to pray the Liturgy of the Hours as well. These prayers, complete with elegant illustrations, were faithfully adapted by Bo Bonner so that your children are introduced to the beauty and depth of the Divine Office in an approachable way.”\r\n\r\nAbout the author we are informed:\r\n\r\n“B.G. ‘Odo’ Bonner, Obl. O.S.B., is an Oblate at Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma, and took his oblate name after St. Odo of Cluny. He and his wife have been married for over two decades, and have five children. He converted to Catholicism during Protestant seminary, and beyond writing poetry, also teaches and speaks on philosophy, theology, and literature. He was born on the feast of St. Blaise, patron of throats, and has not stopped talking ever since.”\r\n\r\nAbout the Illustrator:\r\n\r\n“Gwyneth Thompson-Briggs is a contemporary sacred artist in the perennial Western tradition. Her art decorates churches, schools, and private homes throughout the Americas and Europe. She lives in St. Louis with her husband and four children.”\r\n\r\nThe sections in this volume are:\r\n\r\nThe Very Little Hours\r\nA Very Little Compline\r\n Incipit\r\n Lectio Brevis\r\n Confiteor\r\n Psalm 4\r\n Psalm 90\r\n Psalm 133\r\n Hymn\r\nLittle Chapter and Verse\r\n Chapter\r\n Verse\r\n Versicle\r\nKyrie/Our Father\r\nNunc Dimittis\r\n Antiphon\r\n Collect\r\n Final Blessing\r\nMarian Antiphons\r\n Alma Redemptoris Mater\r\n Ave Regina Caelorum\r\n Regina Caeli\r\n Salve Regina\r\n\r\nThere is a sample prayer in the description above a couple other samples are:\r\n\r\n“The Very Little Hours\r\nMatins speaks from silence deep\r\nas Lauds, the dawning harvests reap\r\nPrime, our labors, girds with strength\r\nas Terce prepares our votive’s length\r\nSext bears the Cross on which Christ hung\r\n’til “it is finished” by None be sung\r\nThen Vespers lights the lamps of praise\r\nand Compline rests our pilgrim days\r\nSeven-a-Day I bow my chin\r\nand once at night to conquer sin.\r\nAmen.”\r\n\r\n“Lectio Brevis\r\nMay our passions be never inflamed\r\nnor our souls by the devil be maimed\r\nwho like a lion may roar\r\nwhile we slumber and snore\r\nbut our help’s in the name of the Lord!”\r\n\r\n“Hymn\r\nBefore the day is done\r\nCreator of earth and sun\r\nYour favor please endow\r\nboth guard and keep us now\r\nFrom nightmares and their fear\r\ndefend mind, eye, and ear\r\ntread underfoot the fiend\r\nand keep our conscience clean\r\nTo the Father and the Son,\r\nand the Spirit, Three-in-One\r\nbe all glory now and ever\r\nWho live and reign forever!\r\nAmen.”\r\n\r\nThe prayers are wonderfully adapted for children. The illustrations are excellent. This volume is a little treasure. This would be an excellent addition to any home, school, or church library. I encourage you to pick up copies for little ones in your own life, for your children, nieces and nephews, grandkids … I am certain kids will love the prayers and the illustrations.\r\n","date":"Oct 3rd 2025"},{"name":"Sam","rating":"5","title":"So sweet!","text":"Will definitely be praying this over our children each night!

A Very Little Office of Compline: Night Prayer for Children
Teach your children the timeless rhythm of prayer with A Very Little Office of Compline. When praying the psalms and hymns of the Divine Office in the given hours of the day, we truly “pray without ceasing.” This gift of prayer that orients us always toward God can be enjoyed by even the littlest of souls. Compline, prayed in the last hour, is especially enriching for children because it sets a nighttime prayer routine. Compline includes psalms and hymns that ask God for His protection while we sleep. A Very Little Office of Compline can be used to pray the Liturgy of the Hours as well. These prayers, complete with elegant illustrations, were faithfully adapted by Bo Bonner so that your children are introduced to the beauty and depth of the Divine Office in an approachable way.
Visit we beseech thee Lord
This house in which we dwell,
Let Angels who abide herein
The devil’s snares dispel,
In peace, please keep our weary heads,
And your blessings always as well.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
