Liturgy for Morning Worship at Home
Morning Prayer for the weeks after Pentecost Meeting with God The Word of God Read a portion of Scripture. The Acts of the Apostles is recommended as being particularly appropriate for this season of the year. In its opening chapters Luke repeats the story of Christ’s Ascension, with which he ended his Gospel, and brings us the exciting tale of the first Pentecost Sunday. But we rarely hear the rest of the book read in church, except for the miraculous conversion of the persecutor Saul into the fervent missionary St Paul. There is much more to the book than that, so you are invited to read and reflect on what God is saying to you through its pages. Come, pray in me the prayer I need this day; help me to see your purpose and your will, where I have failed, what I have done amiss; held in forgiving love, let me be still. Come with the strength I lack, bring vision clear of human need; O give me eyes to see fulfilment of my life in love outpoured: my life in you, O Christ; your love in me. Rejoice and Sing 300 Consider the things that you know have to be accomplished today, however few or many. Think of those things that you might do to support and bring joy to others – a phone call, an email, a wave or a word to someone going past your window, perhaps. Try to anticipate the demands that may be made on you today, whether it be some action of love or charity, the daily round of household tasks or employment, facing yet another day of isolation or pain, living alone or living too much on top of others, risky encounters with The Lord’s Prayer Closing Prayer Blessing |
