The Song of Hannah

My heart exults in the Lord:
my strength is exalted in my God.
There is none holy like the Lord:
there is none beside you, no rock like our God.
Amen.

Old Testament Reading - Hope in sorrow

thumb

15The Lord spoke to me again, saying: In Ramah there is bitter weeping — Rachela is weeping for her children and cannot be comforted, for they are gone. 16But the Lord says: Don’t cry any longer, for I have heard your prayersb and you will see them again; they will come back to you from the distant land of the enemy. 17There is hope for your future, says the Lord, and your children will come again to their own land.

. . . . .Jeremiah 31:15-17
  1. Rachel, symbolic mother of the Northern tribes, who were taken away by the Assyrians as slaves.
  2. Literally, “for your work shall be rewarded.”

Please remember our Prayer Requests

We pray for all people in their daily life and work;
For our families, friends, and neighbours
and for those who are alone.
For this community,
the nation,
and the world;
For all who work for justice, freedom, and peace.
Hear us, Lord;
For your mercy is great.
Amen.
