In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the ancient hymn Te Lucis Ante Terminum — “Before the Ending of the Day” — traditionally sung at Compline, the Church’s night prayer. This simple and beautiful hymn is a quiet plea for God’s protection through the night, entrusting our final thoughts to Him. Discover how the early Church approached nighttime with faith rather than fear, and learn to hand over your worries, fears, and final thoughts to God each night.

What does it mean to entrust our nights to God? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on Deus Creator Omnium, the ancient hymn by St Ambrose written for Saturday evening prayer. Through its verses, we discover God’s providential care in creation, His gift of sleep as preparation for new life, and the call to end each day with thanksgiving. Even in life’s darkness, faith shines as a new light.
