Psalm 69 |

I am weary; broken; they talk about me; answers me;

Save me from those that hate me; keep me from the pit;

I am in distress - come and get me!

No one gives me comfort.  I will give thanks to the Lord.

The Lord listens to the needy - let all creation sing to God.

1 Corinthians 7 | Background
Paul - Each man should have their own spouse; better to be

married than to be inflamed with passion.

Mark 4 | Background

Prayers and Intercessions | Mission St Clare | Book of Common Prayer

Lent - Year B (Mark)

Collect for the Day:

Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore:

Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you, all tongues
confess and bless you, and men and women everywhere love you and
serve you in peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer Attributed to St. Francis

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
