Psalm 103:1-12
- Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name. - Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits— - who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases, - who redeems your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, - who satisfies you with good as long as you live
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. - The Lord works vindication
and justice for all who are oppressed. - He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. - He will not always accuse,
nor will he keep his anger for ever. - He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities. - For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love
towards those who fear him; - as far as the east is from the west,
so far he removes our transgressions from us. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
Collect
Creator God,
you have made us
not in one mould, but in many
so deepen our unity in Christ
that we may rejoice in our diversity.
Amen.

Closing Prayer
Ruler of the everlasting kingdom,
Prince of peace,
champion of the despised:
You are the king;
You make a cross your throne;
You wear a crown of thorns;
You call your subjects friends.
Help us to take up our cross,
To hunger and thirst for all that is good;
Then will your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
Amen
