Father Ambrose, our chapter spiritual advisor and attached priest in Claremont, NH, will travel to campus and celebrate the Service of Vespers in the South Fairbanks Hall (Tucker Center).
The Vespers service is meant to remind us of the Old Testament period, the creation of the world, the first human beings fall into sin, of their expulsion from Paradise, their repentance and prayer for salvation, the hope of mankind in accordance with the promise of God for a Saviour and ending with the fulfillment of that promise. It starts with Psalm 103(104) which describes the creation of the world by God, and moves into psalms of petition to God—"Lord, I cry unto Thee". The Vespers Entry is made to the hymn "O Gladsome Light" which is one of the oldest hymns known to the Church, recorded as early as the late 3rd century. After any appointed scripture readings, Vespers ends with the hymn "Now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace" or St. Simeon's hymn.
All are welcome. This is an opportunity to enter into the prayer of the Church on campus.
