The second in this summer series of daily blog posts suitable for observation of the “Hours” is this highly-spiritual Third Prayer adapted from a circa 5th C. prayer in the Syrian Jacobite tradition. The full text of the office is found in Part Three in the AIC Bookstore Publication: Hear Us, O Lord: Daily Prayers for the Laity. Third Hour, the second of the traditional Hours offices, is traditionally celebrated around 9 A.M.
CREATOR of the morning, who drove out the darkness and brings light and joy to thy creation;
create in us habits of virtue and drive from us all darkness of sin;
give us light and joy by the glorious rays of thy grace, O Lord our God, for ever and ever. Amen.
