Vespers – Evening Prayer according to the Traditional Breviary in English
Let my prayer rise before you as incense, the raising up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
Ps 141.2
Sundays
17 January – 7 February
5pm – 5:30pm
From the earliest centuries of the Church, Christians gathered in the evening on the Lord’s Day to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles. The official public evening prayer of the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours is Vespers, named after the Vesper Star that rises to herald the fall of night.
At Vespers, we sing five psalms with their proper antiphons; we listen to the Word of God, sing a hymn for the Evening. The highlight of the service is the Magnificat, the Canticle of Mary, in which the Altar and the Faithful are incensed a sign of honor and our prayers rising to God. After a prayer, we visit the Lady Altar to ask Mary’s protection during the night.

Host the 5th Annual CYO Progressive Dinner!
If you’d like to help Prince of Peace celebrate the Advent season, a great way to do so is to host a portion of CYO’s fifth annual progressive dinner that will be held Gaudete weekend, Saturday 12 December.
15-20 youth of our parish will travel to one parishioner’s home for an appetizer, then another house for an entree, then to one more house for dessert and a white elephant gift exchange. If you’re interested in celebrating with us and hosting a portion of our meal, please contact Stephanie Lasitter at stephanie.lasitter@princeofpeacetaylors.org or 864.331.3905.
