" Be still and know that I am God. "
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
.. now, the Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who
art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily
bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those that
trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.
.. now the 23rd Psalm, 'The Lord's My Shepherd'
The Lord is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing.
He shall feed me in a green
pasture: and lead me forth
beside the waters of comfort.
He shall convert
my soul:
and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness,
for his Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
Thou shalt
prepare a table before me
against them that trouble me:
thou hast anointed my head with oil,
and my cup shall be full.
But thy loving-kindness
and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
.. now think of the world, its needs, and your own
I remember before You the needs
of others as well as my own ....
those who govern or who are in positions of authority
may they act in the spirit of truth, justice and love
those who minister the word of God
may they be strengthened and always show God's love: and guide
themselves and others in his way in this world
children
that parents, teachers, carers may show love and patience, and
work for all that is good against all that is evil
the destitute and homeless
that we should care for each other in deed and prayer
all who care for those ill in body or mind
that they may be sustained in their devotion and skill
those who mourn
that they may be comforted and live anew in your love
for them and those they have loved
those who suffer the
effects of war or terrorism
that peace may be brought to heal them and those who have harmed
them
those suffering from disasters
may we do more than look on and may our compassion be practical
and prayerful
... and lastly, for me
in all my frailty, doubts, fears and hopes ...
Lord, these things I pray.
.. now, to end, with The Grace
| The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen |
