eDaily Office
This morning I'm feeling a bit sick and generally blah. I've taken the day to try to regroup. Hopefully, I can journal a little later on that process. Presently, I will be doing the Daily Office as I blog. I'm not sure yet if I'll blog about it in this entry or another.

Morning Liturgy B
Among the poor,
among the proud,
among the persecuted
among the priveleged,
Christ is coming to make all things new.
In the private house,
in the public place,
in the wedding feast,
in the judgement hall,
Christ is coming to make all things new.
With a gentle touch,
with an agry word,
with a clear conscience,
with burning love,
Christ is coming to make all things new.
That the kingdom might come,
that the world might believe,
that the powerful miht stumble,
that the hidden might be seen,
Christ is coming to make all things new.
Within us, without us,
behind us, before us,
in this place, in every place,
for this time, for all time,
Christ is coming to make all things new.
In the Holy Place
Where we can enter in
By the blood of Jesus Christ
He has given us atonement
For our sins
And a love gift sacrifice
Now let's sing (echo)
To the one who's called I Am (echo)
As we praise His Holy Lamb (echo)
As we lift our hands
In this Holy Place
This Holy place
Let us pray.
Because you mae the world,
and intended it to be a good place,
and called its people your children;
because, when things seemed at their worst,
you came in Christ to bring out the best in us;
so, gracious God, we gladly say:
Goodness is stronger than evil,
Love is stronger than hate,
Light is stronger than darkness.
Truth is stronger than lies.
Because confusion can reign inside us,
despite our faith;
because anger, tension, bitterness and envy
distort our vision;
because our minds sometimes worry small things
out of proprotion;
because we do not always get it right,
we want to believe:
Goodness is stronger than evil,
Love is stronger than hate,
Light is stronger than darkeness.
Truth is stronger than lies.
Because you have promised to hear us,
and are able to change us,
and are willing to make our hearts your home,
we ask you to confront,
control, forgive and encourage us,
as you know best.
Then let us cherish in our hearts
that which we proclaim with our lips:
Goodness is stronger than evil,
Love is stronger than hate,
Light is stronger than darkness.
Truth is stronger than lies.
Lord, hear our prayer,
and change our lives
until we illustrate the grace
of the God wo makes all things new
Amen
In the beginning was the Word
And the word was with God,
And the word was God.
A reading from Psalm, chapter 51...
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
¶ For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
¶ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
¶ Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
¶ Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
build up the walls of Jerusalem;
then will you delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
For the Word of God is scripture,
for the Word of God among us,
for the Word of God within us;
Thanks be to God.
Let us pray.
Holy God,
though this world depends on your grace,
it is governed and tended by mortals.
So we pray for those who walk the corridors of power in the parliaments of this and other lands, whose judgements we value or fear.

May they always consider those they represent,
make decisions with courage and integrity,
and resist any temptation
to abuse the trust placed in them.

may they never impose burdens on the poor
which they would not carry themselves;
and may they never divorce money from morality
or ownership from stewardship.
Lord hear us,

We pray for those in the caring professions,
who look after and listen to
kind, cruel and cantakerous folk,
and for those who make decisions
regarding the nation's health and welfare.

and may they be saved from tiredness
and an excess of demands.

And let us remember those for whom we are responsible
and to whom we are accountable
in what we do today.

May we show to them
the thoughtfulness, tolerance

Lord hear us
Lord graciously hear us.
Lord, hear our prayers,
and if today we might be the means
by which you answer the prayers of others,
then may you find us
neither deaf nor defiant,
but keen to fulfil your purpose,
for Jesus' sake.
Amen.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on me.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on me.
Melt me, mold me,
fill me, use me.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on me.
From where we are
to where you need us,
Jesus, now lead on.
From the security of what we know
to the adventure of what you will reveal,
Jesus, now lead on.
To refashion the fabric of this world
until it resembles the shape of your kingdom,
Jesus now lead on.
Because good things have been prepared
for those who love God,
Jesus now lead on.

I recently ordered the Wee Worship Book because of the "Goodness is stronger than evil" prayer (or, as I think of it, the "we do not always get it right prayer")...So nice to see it online right after that.
Best wishes, Robin
