Prayer

Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.

Apocrypha Reading - Wisdom through the Spirit

thumb

13For who can learn the counsel of God?
Or who can discern what the Lord wills?
14For the reasoning of mortals is worthless,
and our designs are likely to fail;
15for a perishable body weighs down the soul,
and this earthy tent burdens the thoughtfula mind.
16We can hardly guess at what is on earth,
and what is at hand we find with labour;
but who has traced out what is in the heavens?
17Who has learned your counsel,
unless you have given wisdom
and sent your holy spirit from on high?

. . . . . Wisdom 9:13-17
  1. Or anxious

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.
