Irritation and self-will have corrupted our love of one another; discourage- ment and restlessness have clouded our vision of Thee. Forgive us, O Lord. “Once more, as we go to rest, we commit ourselves in peace of soul to Thy keeping. Thou who in Thy watchful care of Thy children dost never slumber, guard us body and soul while we sleep. Keep us from restless agitation and untoward dreams, and if sleep be denied, may our calm repose in Thee refresh us for the new day. Knowing that Thy love is ever at hand to sustain us. and Thy peace to enfold us, we would sleep quietly, trustfully. Into Thy hands we commend our spirits. Amen.” naming two from each high school.
