Morning Prayer during Lent

 Morning Prayer during Lent

The Lord be with you

and with thy spirit.


Almighty God,

unto whom all hearts be open,

all desires known,

and from whom no secrets are hid:

cleanse the thoughts of our hearts

by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit,

that we may perfectly love thee,

and worthily magnify thy holy name;

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Invitation to Confession,

this may include the Comfortable Words 

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Maker of all things, Judge of all men:

We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness,

which we from time to time, most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy Divine majesty,

Provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us.

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings:

The remembrance of them is grievous unto us;

The burden of them is intolerable.

Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us,

most merciful Father;

For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,

Forgive us all that is past;

And grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life,

To the honour and glory of thy name;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The Absolution

May the Father forgive us by the death of His Son and strengthen us to live in the power of the Spirit all our days. Amen.

Collect

Bible Readings and Psalm

Creed

I believe in one God

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

and of all things visible and invisible:


And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of his Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very God,

begotten, not made,

being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made;

who for us men and for our salvation

came down from heaven,

and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost

of the Virgin Mary,

and was made man,

and was crucified also for us

under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried,

and the third day he rose again

according to the scriptures,

and ascended into heaven,

and sitteth on the right hand of the Father.

And he shall come again with glory

to judge the quick and the dead:

whose kingdom shall have no end.


And I believe in the Holy Ghost,

the Lord, the Giver of life,

who proceedeth from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together

is worshipped and glorified,

who spake by the prophets.

And I believe one holy catholic and

apostolic Church.

I acknowledge one baptism for the

remission of sins.

And I look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen

Psalm 104 for Sunday 7th February 2021

  Psalm 104 verses 26-33 26  O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 27 There is the sea, spread far and wide, and there move creatures beyond number, both small and great. 28 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan which you have made to play in the deep. 29 All of these look to you to give them their food in due season. 30 When you give it them, they gather it; you open your hand and they are filled with good. 31 When you hide your face they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they die and return again to the dust. 32 When you send forth your spirit, they are created and you renew the face of the earth. 33 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; may the Lord rejoice in his works;

Psalm 19 for Sunday 7th March 2021

1The heavens are telling the glory of God and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 2One day pours out its song to another and one night unfolds knowledge to another. 3They have neither speech nor language and their voices are not heard, 4Yet their sound has gone out into all lands and their words to the ends of the world. 5In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun that comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber and rejoices as a champion to run his course. 6It goes forth from the end of the heavens and runs to the very end again and there is nothing hidden from its heat 7The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and gives light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to...
