Welcome to Friday Morning prayer.

We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ:

GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA

With faithfulness we respond to the good news:

We acknowledge Christ as our saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more.

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever.

Let us Pray.

1

Through Christ let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God,

the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 

Hebrews 13.15

  

 

Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit: 

as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen. 

  

 

2 The Opening Canticle, A Song of God’s Grace

We have complete freedom:  to go into the most holy place by means of the death of Jesus.  He opened for us a new way, a living way:  through the curtain, through his own body.  Since we have a great high priest  set over the household of God:  let us draw near with a sincere heart and a sure faith,  With hearts that have been made clean  from a guilty conscience:  and bodies washed with pure water. 

Hebrews 10.19–22

  

 

3 The Opening Prayer

The night has passed and the day lies open before us; 

let us pray with one heart and mind. 

 

Silence may be 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. 

Amen.

  

 

4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each.

Psalm

 

5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow

Holy God, through your beloved Son you reconciled all things to yourself, making peace by the blood of his cross: fill us and those for whom we pray with your peace and joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

  

 

6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.
