For Sunday

Reading of the Law of God
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5.5

Confession of Sin
Our Father, we are not by nature meek people. We like to assert ourselves. We bristle when someone ignores ‘our rights’. We can be good at defending ‘our turf’. In this we sin. We are not like Jesus. We are not meek. Forgive us this sin. Grant us grace so that we might become a meek people and in this way reveal Jesus to the world around us. Amen.

Declaration of Pardon
He made him who knew no sin to become sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

The Lord enrich you with his grace, and nourish you with his blessing; the Lord defend you in trouble and keep you from all evil; the Lord accept your prayers, and absolve you from your offences, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. 
The Book of Common Prayer
