Days of Lent 2
Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil. | Joel 2:13| BCP p. 76
Readings
Psalm 72 | Royal Psalm - Background
Give the King your justice and prosperity to all, O Lord;
The righteous shall flourish;
All kings shall bow before him;
Our king will protect us and give us abundance.
His name will remain forever.
God be blessed.
Romans 1 | Background
Paul - All are accountable to God for their works and actions.
God gave them up to their bad ways; Do no judge; remember the blessings of God;
God shows no partiality.
Glory be to God!
John 5 |
Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath in Jerusalem and is criticized by religious leaders for working on the Sabbath. My father is still working so I will be working.

God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever.

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 the Renewal of Life
O God, the King eternal,
who divides the day from the night
and turns the shadow of death into the morning:
Drive far from us all wrong desires,
incline our hearts to keep your law,
and guide our feet into the way of peace;
that, having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day,
we may, when night comes,
rejoice to give you thanks;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
