Welcome to Wednesday 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

Rejoice always pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks;

For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus. 

  

 

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

Blessed are you,

 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ:

For you have blessed us in Christ Jesus

with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 

You chose us to be yours in Christ,

before the foundation of the world:

That we should be holy and blameless before you. 

In love you destined us to be your children,

through Jesus Christ:

according to the purpose of your will, 

to the praise of your glorious grace:

which you freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Ephesians 1.3-6  

 

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 reading…

Psalm 135

1 Praise the Lord, praise the name of the Lord:

praise him, you servants of the Lord,

2 Who stand in the house of the Lord:

in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is gracious:

sing praises to his name, for it is good.

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself:

and Israel as his own possession.

5 I know that the Lord is great:

and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 He does whatever he wills, in heaven and upon the earth:

in the seas and in the great depths.

7 He brings up clouds from the ends of the earth:

he makes lightning for the rain

and brings the wind out of his storehouses.

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt:

both man and beast
