Psalm 135:13-21
13 Your name, O Lord, endures for ever, your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages. 14 For the Lord will vindicate his people, and have compassion on his servants. 15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 16 They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see; 17 they have ears, but they do not hear, and there is no breath in their mouths. 18 Those who make them and all who trust them shall become like them. 19 O house of Israel, bless the Lord! O house of Aaron, bless the Lord! 20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord! You that fear the Lord, bless the Lord! 21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion, he who resides in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
Collect
God of enterprise,
you called Boniface from his monastery
when he was forty;
you sent him to Germany,
to work with women as well as men,
till at seventy he was attacked and killed;
may we serve you half as well.
Amen.
Listening
Come now, Holy Spirit,
and open our hearts to hear God’s voice.
Come now, Word of God, and transform us.
Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)
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
