compline
Compline or Complin is the final church service (or office) of the day in the Christian tradition of canonical hours. The term is pronounced "Comp'-lin" and is sometimes also called Night Prayer or Prayers at the End of the Day. Compline is derived from the Latin completorium, as Compline is the completion of the liturgical day. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, and certain other Christian denominations with liturgical traditions prescribe Compline services. Compline tends to be a contemplative office that emphasizes spiritual peace.
