Welcome to Tuesday 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.

 

1c                                                             

We will proclaim the name of the Lord

Ascribe greatness to our God

 

Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit: 

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

  

2 The Opening Canticle,

God who is rich in mercy

out of the great love with which he loved us,

even when we were dead through our trespasses.

made us alive together with Christ,

and raised us up with him:

and made us sit with him

in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

that he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace:

 in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2.4-7

7 The Canticle, A Song of the Blessed

Blessed are the poor in spirit: 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are those who mourn: 
for they shall be comforted. 
Blessed are the meek: 
for they shall inherit the earth. 
Blessed are those who hunger 
and thirst for what is right: 
for they shall be satisfied. 
Blessed are the merciful: 
for mercy shall be shown to them. 
Blessed are the pure in heart: 
for they shall see God. 
Blessed are the peacemakers: 
for they shall be called the children of God. 
Blessed are those who are persecuted 
for righteousness’ sake: 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

Matthew 5.3–10

  

 

8 The belief and principle is said

I believe in God,
creator of heaven and earth,

whose love and merciful forgiveness

endures everlasting.

I believe in Christ the saviour,

whose example of love and compassion,

taught us a restored way to live, in collaborative unity with all people.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

whose divine guidance brings

us together to be one with the Holy Trinity.

10 The Lord’s 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.

Almighty God

You have given your only son

To be for us both a sacrifice for sin,

Give us grace that we may always thankfully

receive the benefits of his sacrifice,

And also daily endeavour to follow

The blessed steps of his most holy life;

We ask this day for your mercy and intervention. Show us the way to live in peace.
