Compline is a traditional Christian prayer service held at the end of the day, typically before bedtime. It is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, a set of prayers that mark the different times of the day. Compline includes psalms, hymns, and prayers, focusing on reflection and peace as the day concludes. The service often emphasizes themes of rest, protection, and forgiveness. Many monastic communities, such as the Benedictines, observe Compline as a way to foster a sense of community and spiritual discipline. It serves as a moment for individuals to prepare their hearts and minds for sleep.
