Daily Morning Prayer


OfficiantLord, open our lips.
PeopleAnd our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as
it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.  Alleluia


Jubilate      Psalm 100
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
    serve the Lord with gladness
    and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
    he himself has made us, and we are his;
    we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
    give thanks to him and call upon his Name.


For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
    and his faithfulness endures from age to age.


Psalm 122


1 I was glad when they said to me, *
    "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
 
2 Now our feet are standing *
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.
 
3 Jerusalem is built as a city *
    that is at unity with itself;

4To which the tribes go up, 
the tribes of the LORD, *
    the assembly of Israel,
    to praise the Name of the LORD.
 
5For there are the thrones of judgment, *
    the thrones of the house of David.
 
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: *
    "May they prosper who love you.
 
7Peace be within your walls *
    and quietness within your towers.
 
8For my brethren and companions' sake, *
    I pray for your prosperity.
 
9Because of the house of the LORD our God, *
    I will seek to do you good."

At the end of the Psalms is sung or said
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
    as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

John 15:1-8

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes[a] to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed[b] by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become[c] my disciples.

The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

A Collect for Peace

O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know
you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend
us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that
we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of
any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the
earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those
who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people
everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the
nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh;
and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer of St. Chrysostom


Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one
accord to make our common supplication to you; and you
have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two
or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the
midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions
as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of
your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.


Then may be said

Let us bless the Lord. Alleluia, alleluia.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia, alleluia.
