MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

MENU

Affirmation of Commitment

We commit ourselves to living out Your truths,
to lead with integrity,
to steward with justice,
and to serve with love.

We pledge to be responsible caretakers
of all that God has entrusted to us,
the people, the resources, the earth, and the Church.

We will listen to the voices of the least and the lost,
and walk alongside communities in justice and compassion.

In the diverse and vibrant context of Asia,
we honour every culture and tradition that glorifies Christ,
and work in unity to build up the Body of Christ.
With God’s help, we will strive to be servant-leaders,
anchored in Scripture and guided by the Spirit.
May we be a witness to Your great mercy of redemption
and freedom from our bondage of sins.
Amen.

Going Forth

Now may the God of hope fill us with life and peace in believing,
so that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we may overflow with
love and hope.
Thanks be to God.

The Spirit is our source of life.
Let us therefore walk by the Spirit.
Amen

May the Triune God
make us strong in faith and love,
make us free from the bondage to decay,
guide us on every side, and lead us in truth and peace;
and may the blessing of the God of life and peace
be among us and remain with us always.
Amen.
