Almighty and everlasting God,
we thank you that you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day. Keep us from falling into sin or running into danger, order us in all our doings and guide us to do always what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A prayer for those who govern Eternal God, fount and source of all authority and wisdom, hear our prayer for those who govern. Give to Elizabeth our Queen grace as the symbol of loyalty and unity for all our different peoples; give to the parliaments of these islands, And especially to our own Government, wisdom and skill, imagination and energy, Athat all may live in health and happiness, truth and prosperity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A General Thanksgiving Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men; we bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable 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 beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we shew forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

Dear friends,
Here are our Prayers for this Sunday, the 5th in Lent. Today’s Gospel is from John and describes the raising of Lazarus (John 11.1-45, a long Gospel). It gives us hope in tragic times. Jesus tells his friends he is the Resurrection and the Life, and Martha’s response is a cry of faith - I believe you are the Messiah. Let us pray. Most merciful God, who by the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ delivered and saved the world: grant that by faith in him suffered on the cross we may triumph in the power of his victory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord... O God the maker and Redeemer of all, grant to us, with your servant Mary and all the faithful departed, the sure benefits of your Son’s saving passion and glorious resurrection; that in the last day, when you gather all things up in Christ, we may with them enjoy the fullness of your promise; through Jesus Christ... The Almighty God, who is a strong tower for all who put their trust in him, to whom all things in heaven, on earth, and under the earth bow and obey, be now and evermore your defence, and make you know and feel that the only name under heaven given for health and salvation, is the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen To God’s gracious mercy and protection we commit you. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord look kindly on you and give you his peace, and the blessing of God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be with you and all those you love now and always. Amen John |
