MatinsThe Song of Hannah
For yours O Lord are the pillars of the earth:
and on them you have set the world.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Fallen Israel restored
1Then the Lord said to me, “Go, and get your wife again and bring her back to you and love her, even though she loves adultery. For the Lord still loves Israel though she has turned to other gods and offered them choice gifts.”
3and I said to her, “You must live alone for many days; do not go out with other men nor be a prostitute, and I will wait for you.”
4This illustrates the fact that Israel will be a long time without a king or prince, and without an altar, Temple, priests, or even idols!
5Afterward they will return to the Lord their God and to the Messiah, their King,a and they shall come trembling, submissive to the Lord and to his blessings in the end times.
. . . . .Hosea 3:1,3-5- Literally, “to David, their king.” Christ was “the Greater David.”
Confession
Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you,
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart.
We have not loved others
as our Saviour Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may delight in your will
and walk in your ways,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
