Psalm 88; Jeremiah 11:1-8,14-20; Romans 6:1-11; John 8:33-47
I cry and pray to you, O God, for my misery and torment;
I feel cut off from you and all of my friends;
I call upon you, but where are you?
I am so troubled and afraid and I am lonely...
Should we continue in sin so grace abounds? No!
We need to walk in a new life and in a new resurrection!
We now live alive in God!
John 8 | Jesus continues his debate with religious leaders ...
We are from Abraham and God, they said; Then why do you not understand me and what God says asks Jesus; you do not know God or me.

Today | Collect of the Day | Third Sunday in Lent
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
For Mission
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
A Collect for Fridays
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.
