Welcome to Wednesday Morning prayer based on the Anglican ‘A prayer book for Australia’.

We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ:

GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA

With faithfulness we respond to the good news:

We acknowledge Christ as our saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more.

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever.

You chose us to be yours in Christ,

before the foundation of the world:

That we should be holy and blameless before you. 

In love you destined us to be your children,

through Jesus Christ:

according to the purpose of your will, 

to the praise of your glorious grace:

which you freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Ephesians 1.3-6

Father of majesty unbounded:

Your true and only son, worthy of all praise,

the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.

You, Christ, are the king of glory,

the eternal son of the father.

When you took our flesh to set us free:

You humbly chose the virgin's womb.

You overcame the sting of death:

And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

You are seated at God's right hand in glory:

We believe that you will come to be our judge.

bought with the price of your own blood:

And bring us with your Saints to glory everlasting.

and without him, was not anything made that was made.

In him was life:

And the life was the light of all the people.

The light shines in the darkness:

And the darkness has not overcome it.

He was in the world:

And the world was made through him

yet the world knew him not.

He came to his own home:

and his own people received him not.

But to all who received him who believed on his name:

He has given power to become children of God;

who were born not of blood

nor of the will of the flesh:

nor of the will of a man but of God.

And the Word became flesh

And dwelt among us full of grace and truth;

we have beheld his glory:

glory as of the only son from the father

and from his fullness have we all received:

And grace upon grace.

See the Lord God coming with power:

Coming to rule with his mighty arm.

7 The Canticle,

In the beginning was the word:

 and the word was with God,

 and the word was god:

 he was in the beginning with god.

 all things were made through him:

 and without him, was not anything made that was made.

In him was life:

And the life was the light of all the people.

The light shines in the darkness:

And the darkness has not overcome it.

He was in the world:

And the world was made through him

 yet the world knew him not.

 he came to his own home:

and his own people received him not.

but to all who received him who believed on his name:

He has given power to become children of God;

who were born not of blood

nor of the will of the flesh:

nor of the will of a man but of God.

And the word became flesh

And dwelt among us full of grace and truth;

we have beheld his glory:

 glory as of the only son from the father

and from his fullness have we all received:

And grace upon grace.

8 The belief and principle is said

I believe in God,

whose love and merciful forgiveness

endures everlasting.

I believe in Christ the saviour,
