	Compline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Compline or Complin is the final church service (or office) of the day in the Christian tradition of canonical hours.
		In the Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours, Compline is divided as follows: introduction, brief examination of conscience and penitential rite, a hymn, psalmody with accompanying antiphons, scriptural reading, the responsory, the Canticle of Simeon, concluding prayer, and benediction; the final antiphon to the Blessed Virgin Mary is an essential part of the office.
		The term Compline (Complin) is derived from the Latin completorium, complement, and has been given to this particular Hour because Compline is, as it were, the completion of all the Hours of the day: the close of the day.

	Compline
		Compline, from the word 'completion', is sung in its entirety by the members of the Compline Choir as their offering to the Lord to commemorate the day's end.
		As it has for centuries, Compline invokes a sense of protection and peace for the night that is to come and thanks for safe passage through the day that has past.
		In the words of our rector, "The Office of Compline is not a performance for people to come and hear, it is a transformance of the individual worshipper." Admittedly, the Compline service exists within the context of a society in general and the Christian Church in particular that have become increasingly secularized.

	In Oakland, a 1,600-year-old ritual of serenity and silence

		Then again, Benedict did not anticipate that 1,600 years later, Compline would be held against a background of city traffic, kids tossing something called a football on the lawn outside, or that Compline on a university campus would be sponsored by something called Lutheran Campus Ministries under the musical direction of a Methodist-turned-Episcopalian-become-Roman Catholic.
		Compline originally was sung a cappella -- voice only -- but Schall and his predecessor, John W. Becker, include an organ prelude and an anthem for worshippers to join in.

		Compline -- said at bedtime -- is the simplest office in the sense that it uses the fewest number of variable elements.
		On every day of the Church Year, Compline requires only the fixed form in Section A, and the day's Psalms in Section B. Compline does not concern itself with saint's days, so there is absolutely no need to worry about whom is being celebrated.
		Indeed, the basic structure of Compline is identical to that of the other offices: preliminary prayers, followed by Psalms, hymns and canticles, a collect, and closing prayers.

		Father Pargoire therefore disputes the assertion that St. Benedict was the originator of Complin, being rather disposed to trace its source to St. Basil.
