The service of Compline is the last liturgical hour
of the day and seeks God’s forgiveness for our sins during the past day and
blessing for the coming night. For most of the year, this service takes the form
of Small Compline, an abbreviated and re-arranged form of the Great Compline
served during Great Lent. Following the usage of Holy Trinity Monastery
(Jordanville, NY), the order incorporates prayers before sleep from the
Jordanville Prayer Book and a litany of saints chanted while venerating icons at
the completion of the service.
Suitable for use at home or in church.

The monks who came to Holy Trinity Monastery from Eastern Europe after World War II inherited a tradition of printing that stretches back almost to the invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century. Through the fathers’ tireless efforts, the monastery has been printing and publishing Orthodox Christian books for almost sixty-five years. In keeping with the humble spirit required of a monk, books which are written or prepared by members of the monastic brotherhood are published under the general authorship of Holy Trinity Monastery.
