Evening Prayer

Jesus Christ my God, I adore you and thank you for all the graces you have given me this day. I offer you my sleep and all the moments of this night, and I ask you to keep me from sin. I put myself within your sacred side and under the mantle of our Lady. Let your holy angels stand about me and keep me in peace. And let your blessing be upon me. Amen.

~By St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote some of the most beautiful prayers in my opinion. I really like his Stations of the Cross personally. Hat Tip to A Catholic Life for this prayer.
