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
