A Little Pilgrim's Evening Prayer

Heavenly Father,

As the day draws to a close, I place myself in Your hands with a heart full of gratitude and trust.

Thank You for the many blessings You have given me today—the seen and unseen graces that sustain me. In the quiet of this evening, I offer You my soul, my mind, and my heart. Cleanse me of my sins, calm my spirit, and prepare me to rest in Your peace.

Through the intercession of Your Son and my Lord Jesus Christ, I lift to You the needs of the Church, the world, and all the intentions that have been commended to me.

Bless the Holy Father and all who serve Your Holy Church. Lord, I earnestly pray that you send more laborers for Your harvest.May Your Holy Spirit illumine, strengthen, and guide all who are discerning their vocation.

Sanctify all Christians and unite Your people in faith and love. Guide those in leadership within the Church and the world, that they may act with wisdom, justice, and courage. Protect the most vulnerable, and lead all sinners to repentance.

Lord, I ask for Your blessings on my loved ones—for their health, holiness, and happiness. May those who have wandered from the faith return to You, and may those who are despairing find hope. Teach us to love one another and to follow the guidance of Your Holy Spirit.

For those suffering tonight, I ask for Your healing hand. Touch the sick with Your mercy, comfort the sorrowful, strengthen the weary, and bring peace to the dying. Remember the holy souls in purgatory, especially those in my family, and grant eternal rest to all who have gone before us.

Heavenly Father, teach me to trust in Your providence, to love You above all things, and to love my neighbor as myself. Use me as Your instrument, and let me always see Your hand in action so that I can give You all the glory.

As I prepare to rest, I entrust myself to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, my Guardian Angel, my Patron Saint and all the angels and saints. May they guard and guide me through the night and lead me ever closer to You.

May I sleep in Your peace, awaken in Your grace, and rise tomorrow with a renewed heart to glorify You.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, King of Mercy, I trust in You.

Amen.
