Psalm 105 |
Give thanks to the Lord; sing praises to the Lord; rejoice;
Seek the Lord in all things and everyone; God is our God:
God remembers the promises since Abraham; the psalmist
Tells the story of Joseph.
Ephesians 4 |
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but
only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit
of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid
of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every
form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Matthew 9 |
Jesus went Nazareth; your sins are forgiven or get up on walk;
The paralyzed man got up and walked; the crowd was afraid because
of his authority.

Prayers and Intercessions
Collect of the Day | Easter 7 - Sunday after the Ascension
O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with
great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless,
but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place
where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
General Thanksgiving
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you
humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all
whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and
all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in
the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace,
and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies,
that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips,
but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to your service, and by walking before you in
holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom,
with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.
+++
Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
