Morning prayer for 440 AD link

O Lord, direct our steps this day into the way of peace,
and strengthen our hearts to obey your commandments.
May the Dayspring visit us from on high,
and give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
that they may adore you for your mercy, follow you for your truth,
desire you for your sweetness, for you are the blessed Lord God of Earth, now and forever.
Amen.

A Prayer Attributed to St. Francis link

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Prayer by (Ambrose of Milan, c 339-397 link

O Lord, who hast mercy upon all, take away from me my sins,
and mercifully kindle in me the fire of thy Holy Spirit.
Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh,
a heart to love and adore thee,
a heart to delight in thee,
to follow and to enjoy thee,
for Christ’s sake.
Amen

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

Wade is out of town. There is nothing posted with just the sermon. Scroll to minute 23 to start sermon. I’m sorry.

An ancient folk blessing link

May there always be
work for your hands to do.

May your purse always
carry a shilling or two.

May the sun always
play on your window pane.

May a rainbow chase after
each spot of rain.

May the hand of a friend
always be near you.

May God fill your heart with
gladness and cheer you.

Amen

  1. Lovely graphics. (And I dig the coat of many colours.) (My audio is working better this week.)

    To quench / grieve Holy Spirit is to bear in vain the names of the Twelve Tribes (me being “mystical” of course).
