In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Most merciful God,
We confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen.
— Morning Prayer II & Evening Prayer II◊
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen us in all goodness,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit
keep us in eternal life. Amen.
— Morning Prayer II & Evening Prayer II◊†
Invitatory
If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation.
For the scripture says,
“Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
— Romans 10:9-11
Cruciform
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for forty days,
being tempted by the devil.
He ate nothing in those days,
and afterward, he was hungry.
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,
command this stone to become bread.”
Jesus answered him saying, “It is written,
‘You shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
— Luke 4:1-4, Matthew 4:4
Weeks
You shall worship the Lord your God,
and you shall serve him only.
— Luke 4:8
Following the seventh bead:
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Dimissory
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”
Because you have made the Lord your refuge,
and the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall happen to you,
neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
For he will put his angels in charge of you,
to guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and cobra.
You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him.
I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble.
I will deliver him, and honour him.
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
— Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
