The Horologion contains the daily Hours of prayer that form the daily cycle of Orthodox Christian prayer. The eight daily liturgical Hours sanctify the hours of the day and night by commemorating the saving events of the Holy Gospel, praising and thanking God for the beginning and end of each day and entreating His mercy and grace at all times so that we may be pleasing unto Him and preserved from sin. The psalms, prayers and supplications are a school of prayer and teaching to those that hear and pray them attentively. All readings supplied by Holy Cross Monastery: https:/holycross.org.

THE COMPLINE SERVICE is served after Vespers before retiring for sleep, and consists of the reading of psalms and prayers. At this time, we ask of God forgiveness of sins, help, and defense from enemies visible and invisible who seek to ensnare our souls and are especially dangerous during sleep. We also recite the Symbol of Faith and offer prayers to the Theotokos and to Christ the Savior that we be blessed on approaching sleep. There exist both Great and Small Compline. Small Compline is served for most of the year. Great Compline is generally served on weekday evenings during Great Lent, as well as on the Annunciation when the latter falls on a weekday within Great Lent. Additionally, Great Compline is served on the eves of the feasts of the Nativity of Christ and Theophany.
