Morning Prayer with Mass  

Entry Song

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the rising of the sun to its setting
great is the name of the Lord:
high above the heavens is his glory.
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
glory to the Holy Spirit now and for ever. Amen.

In view of the violence and war throughout the world
and the sufferings of so many people
we sometimes light a special candle and pray for peace:

A Prayer for Peace

Lord,
We pray for peace in the Holy Land,
for Ukraine, Syria and all the other troubled countries
where people’s lives are spoiled or taken from them
by violence or war.
We pray for refugees,
and for generous hearts for those who need to show mercy.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

We sit for the psalm

Psalm 8  What is man that you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you should care for him?

 When I see the heavens which your hands have made, moon and stars and everything which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you should ever care for him?
What is man that you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you should care for him?     

You have made him little less than any god, you have blest and honoured him above all things
you have given him a share in your power, you have put creation underneath his feet.
What is man that you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you should care for him?

Glory to the Father, glory to the Son, glory to the Holy Spirit now and for ever. Amen.
What is man that you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you should care for him?

 

Let us pray

Creator, God,
we are filled with awe as we look at the worlds you have made,
and overwhelmed with gratitude as we see the responsibility you have placed upon us.
Guide us to care for each other and to reverence ‘the work of your hands.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

 

We pause for a moment of reflection then stand for the Collect of the day or the Gloria
Gospel Verse:  Alleluia, alleluia. Speak, O Lord, your servant is listening, alleluia.  Alleluia, alleluia.

Intercessions:

after the intercessions we sing

How precious is your love, O Lord, your everlasting love.
How precious is your love, O Lord, your unfailing love.

Jubilee Sanctus

Memorial: When we eat this bread, and drink this cup,

Jubilee Agnus Dei

Communion Verse
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the Banquet of the Lamb.
Blessed are those called to the Banquet of the Lamb.

 

Benedictus verse 1

Blest be the Lord the God of Israel, who came to us,  and brought us back from sin.
God raised for us a Saviour who is mighty,  his Saviour-Son from David’s house and line.
God promised this through holy men and women who spoke for him down through the mists of time.

 

After Mass 
May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm;
and may he lead us to eternal life.
Amen.
