According to St. Basil the Great the evening hour of prayer was ordered for this reason: that after the completion of the day we might render thanks to the Creator for all that we were given or accomplished therein, along with a confession of our failings, whether voluntary or involuntary; for some sin may have been hidden during the day, whether in words or deeds or withing our hearts; and for all these things we implore God's mercy in prayer.
