Be the light of Your Christ, strengthen and support those who labor through the night, those who stand vigil with suffering loved ones, and those who struggle with restless hours of darkness. Give us peace and quietness. Guard and defend us from all harm and danger, keeping and preserving Your people according to Your mercy, revealed in Your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. - Amen.<\/p>" ) }
