“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” -John 8:12

THE NIGHTS WATCH

UT IN OMNIBUS GLORIFECTUR DEUS

AB OMNI MALO DEFENDERE - TO DEFEND ALL FROM EVIL

OATH OF THE NIGHT’S WATCH

I am a brother of the Night’s Watch. I am a servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ. I stand as a beacon of light in the gathering darkness. To stand watch over all of God’s creation. I am called to protect and serve, and to obey the living Christ.  I commit myself to live a righteous life, a life that honors Christ in thought, word, and deed. I profess that I love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind and with all my strength, and that I am to Love my Neighbor as myself.      

I believe in the 10 commandments and profess obedience to the same:

  1. I believe in the Lord my God and shall not have other gods besides Him.

  2. I shalt not make for myself any graven image.

  3. I shalt not take the name of the Lord my God in vain.

  4. I will remember the Lord's Day and keep it holy.
  5. I will Honor my Father and Mother.
  6. I shalt not kill.
  7. I shalt not commit adultery.
  8. I shalt not steal.
  9. I shalt not bear false witness against my neighbor.
  10. I shalt not covet.

PRAYER OF THE NIGHT’S WATCH                            

Please Oh Lord, nurture me in Spirit and in faith, and to see your will above all others.

 Let me be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Putting on the whole armor of God, that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For I do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore I take up the whole armor of God that I may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

 I Stand therefore, having girded my waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And I take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the body of Christ
