Welcome to Sunday Morning prayer from the Anglican ‘A prayer book for Australia’.

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.

This is the day that the Lord has made.

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit: 

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

 

  

  

  

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.

7 The Canticle, The Song of Zechariah (Benedictus)

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel: 
who has come to his people and set them free. 
The Lord has raised up for us a mighty Saviour: 
born of the house of his servant David. 
Through the holy prophets, God promised of old: 
to save us from our enemies, from the hands of 
all who hate us, 
To show mercy to our forebears: 
and to remember his holy covenant. 
This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham: 
to set us free from the hands of our enemies, 
Free to worship him without fear: 
holy and righteous before him, all the days of our life. 
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High: 
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, 
To give his people knowledge of salvation: 
by the forgiveness of their sins. 
In the tender compassion of our God: 
the dawn from on high shall break upon us, 
To shine on those who dwell in darkness 
and the shadow of death: 
and to guide our feet into the way of peace. 

Luke 1.68–79

  

 

8 The Apostles’ Creed may be said.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, 
creator of heaven and earth. 
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, 
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 
born of the virgin Mary, 
suffered under Pontius Pilate, 
was crucified, died, and was buried; 
he descended to the dead. 
On the third day he rose from the dead; 
he ascended into heaven, 
and is seated at the right hand of the Father; 
from there he will come to judge 
the living and the dead. 
I believe in the Holy Spirit, 
the holy catholic Church, 
the communion of saints, 
the forgiveness of sins, 
the resurrection of the body, 

and the life everlasting. Amen. 

  

 

9 The Prayers

Lord have mercy. 

Christ have mercy. 

Lord have mercy. 

  

10 The LORDs prayer

Our Father in heaven, 
hallowed be your name, 
your kingdom come, 
your will be done, 
on earth as in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
Forgive us our sins 
as we forgive those who sin against us. 
Save us from the time of trial 
and deliver us from evil. 
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours 
now and for ever. Amen.

Let us pray

Almighty God, by your Son Jesus Christ you gave many excellent gifts to your apostles and commanded them to feed your flock. Bless all Archbishops and bishops in the Anglican Church. So, fill them with your truth, and clothe them with holiness, that as pastors of your Church they may diligently preach your word, and modernise their teachings of your people, to the glory of your name.

God of grace: hear our prayer.

 

 

God of wisdom, grant we pray that the words we have heard today make in us a desire to serve the people in bringing the good news of Christ to all who have yet to hear it, so that they may bring forth in us the fruit of good works to honour and praise your name.

God of grace: hear our prayer.

 

Creator God, We thank you for all created living beings, we ask that you look kindly with saving grace upon all animals this day, whether they are in the wild, on the streets, in captivity, or elsewhere.
