Friday Morning Prayer

Friday Morning - The Cross

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you,
because by your holy cross you have redeemed
the world.

Jesus, Lamb of God,
have mercy on us.
Jesus, bearer of our sins,
have mercy on us.
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
grant us peace.

.

Psalm 31.1-5

In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.

Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.

Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.

Into your hands I commit my spirit;
redeem me, LORD, my faithful God.

.

We look to you to save and help us.
Jesus, saviour of the world, come to us in your mercy;
We look to you to save and help us.

By your cross and your life laid down, you set your people free:
we look to you to save and help us.
we look to you to save and help us.

When they were ready to perish, you saved your disciples:
we look to you to come to our help.
we look to you to save and help us.

In the greatness of your mercy, loose us from our chains:
forgive the sins of all your people.
we look to you to save and help us.

Make yourself known as our Saviour and Mighty Deliverer:
save and help us, that we might praise you.
we look to you to save and help us.

Come now and dwell with us, Lord Jesus Christ:
hear our prayer and be with us always.
we look to you to save and help us.

And when you come in your glory,
make us to be one with you
and to share in the life of your kingdom.

We look to you to save and help us.

.

Christ, who was crucified, and now is risen, may we find in you a sure ground for our faith, a firm support for our hopes, the knowledge of sins forgiven, and the assurance that life is eternal.

Amen.
