Days of Lent


To the Lord, our God belongs mercy and forgiveness, because we have rebelled against him and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by following his laws which he set before us.  | Daniel 9:9, 10 |  BCP p. 76




Readings


Psalm 30 | Thanksgiving for deliverance - Background
You have lifted me up!
You restored me to health and saved me from death;
Joy is in the morning!
You made me as strong as the mountains.
My hearts sings without ceasing


Titus 3 | Background
Be ready for every good work;
Keep the way and act that way;
We were given mercy and grace through Christ;
Devote yourselves to good works;
Stay awake from one that causes divisions.
Greet those that love us in the faith.


John 1 | Background
WE have found him! Come and See!
Jesus talks with Nathaniel and fig trees - Really? You will see great things even heaven!

Prayers and Intercessions | Mission St Clare | Book of Common Prayer.
Today | Collect of the Day | The last Sunday in Epiphany
O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
For Mission
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.


THE APOSTLES’ CREED
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 again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again 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.

A Collect for Guidance

Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
