- The Midnight Office is served before Matins. In the Gospel parable of the ten virgins the LordJesus Christ portrayed Himself as the bridegroom who came at midnight. Thus, since ancient times Christians have sanctified this hour with prayer so as to meet the Lord, like the wise virgins, in wakefulness. In addition to this, midnight is hallowed for Christians by the remembrance that at that time the Lord sorrowed and travailed in the garden of Gethsemane even to the sweating of His blood, was betrayed by the traitorous Judas, and was subjected to bitter reviling while on trial before the high priest. The Midnight Office consists of the reading of the penitential psalms 50 and 118, which portray the blessedness of blameless men; of the Symbol of Faith, the hymn “Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh,” and prayers for the departed. In this way the Midnight Office inclines us to repentance, the continual preservation of the law of the Lord, and spiritual vigilance in expectation of the unexpected Second Coming of Christ.
