Readings:
Psalm 64, 67;
Ezekiel 34. 17-31;
John 7. 32-53.
Led by Felicity Scott, Liturgical Assistant with the Anglican Church, QLD, Australia.
Welcome to Thursday Evening prayer from the Anglican ‘A prayer book for Australia’.
We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ:
GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA
With faithfulness we respond to the good news:
We acknowledge Christ as our saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more.
Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever.
Let us Pray.
1
The Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult and give God the glory.
Revelation 19.6–7
Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen
2 The Opening Canticle, A Song of Joy
Be joyful in the Lord, all the earth:
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with singing.
Know that the Lord is God:
it is he who has made us, and we are his;
for we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise:
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good;
his loving-kindness is everlasting:
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
Psalm 100
3 The Opening Prayer
The day is now past and the night is at hand.
Let us pray with one heart and mind.
Silence may be kept.
Father of lights, receive the prayer and praise we offer you as our evening sacrifice; make us a light for all the world,
delivered by your goodness from all the works of darkness; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.
Amen.
4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each.
Psalm
5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow
God our saviour, you sent Jesus into the world of sin, and delivered him up to death for us: kindle in our hearts the same love with which he loved his own to the end; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.
1st Reading
2nd Reading
The readings may be followed by a period of silence for reflection, a hymn or
Hear the message of Christ.
Thanks be to God.
7 The Canticle,
Christ Jesus was in the form of God:
But he did not cling to equality with God.
He emptied himself, taking the form of a servant:
And was born in our human likeness.
Being found in human form, he humbled himself:
And became obedient unto death,
Even death on a cross.
Therefore, God has highly exalted him:
And bestowed on him the name above every name,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow:
In heaven and on earth and under the earth;
And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord:
to the glory of God the father.
Philippians 2.5b–11
8 The belief and principle is said
I believe in God,
creator of heaven and earth,
whose love and merciful forgiveness
endures everlasting.
I believe in Christ the saviour,
whose example of love and compassion,
taught us a restored way to live, in collaborative unity with all people.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
whose divine guidance brings
us together to be one with the Holy Trinity.
Amen.
9 The Prayers
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
God have mercy.
9 The Lord’s Prayer and the Collect of the Day
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.
Prayer of the Week
Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
Oh God,
You alone can order our unruly wills and the affections:
teach us to love what you command and to desire what you promise
that, among the changes and chances of this world our hearts
may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
