MORNING PRAYER: MONDAY
Morning Prayer on Monday ↑
The sun of righteousness has dawned
with healing in his wings.
Let us come to the light of Christ,
confessing our sins in penitence and faith.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
we have sinned against you
and against our neighbour
in thought and word and deed,
through negligence, through weakness,
through our own deliberate fault.
We are truly sorry
and repent of all our sins.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
who died for us,
forgive us all that is past
and grant that we may serve you in newness of life
to the glory of your name. Amen.
May almighty God,
who sent his Son into the world to save sinners,
bring us his pardon and peace, now and for ever.
Amen.
O Lord, open our lips
All and our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
1 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
2 He will not always accuse us,
neither will he keep his anger for ever.
3 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
4 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is his mercy upon those who fear him.
5 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he set our sins from us.
6 As a father has compassion on his children,
so is the Lord merciful towards those who fear him.
7 For he knows of what we are made;
he remembers that we are but dust.
8 Our days are but as grass;
we flourish as a flower of the field;
9 For as soon as the wind goes over it, it is gone,
and its place shall know it no more.
10 But the merciful goodness of the Lord is from of old
and endures for ever on those who fear him,
and his righteousness on children’s children;
11 On those who keep his covenant
and remember his commandments to do them.
Psalm 103.8-18
All Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind.
Silence is kept.
As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
All Amen.

MORNING PRAYER: WEDNESDAY
O Lord, open our lips
All and our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
1 O Lord our governor,
how glorious is your name in all the world!
2 Your majesty above the heavens is praised
out of the mouths of babes at the breast.
3 You have founded a stronghold against your foes,
that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have ordained,
5 What are mortals, that you should be mindful of them;
mere human beings, that you should seek them out?
6 You have made them little lower than the angels
and crown them with glory and honour.
7 You have given them dominion over the works of your hands
and put all things under their feet,
8 All sheep and oxen,
even the wild beasts of the field,
9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea
and whatsoever moves in the paths of the sea.
10 O Lord our governor,
how glorious is your name in all the world!
(Psalm 8)
All Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.
The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind.
Silence is kept.
As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
All Amen.

like the spring rains that water the earth.

and my judgement goes forth as the light.
9 ‘For loyalty is my desire and not sacrifice,
and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.’
