Ps. 69:1-23(24-30)31-38 & 73 Exod. 1:6-22 1 Cor. 12:12-26 Mark 8:27––9:1

Psalm 69

Save me for I am sinking and am tired from crying to you;

Save me from the teasing of people; they treat me badly;

You will lift me up, God, I will seek you;

Your people will inherit their land.

1 Corinthians 12

Paul - the body is one and has many part but all are one;

We are the same in Jesus Christ - we are one body;

God arranged the body just so even to the inferior parts;

God saves and protects all.

Mark 8

Jesus continued his ministry with disciples; Who do people

say that I am? You are the Messiah. Jesus told them he must

suffer from religious leaders. Peter and Jesus argue about this.

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

Lent - Year B (Mark)

Collect for the Day:

Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from

heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world:

Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and

we in him; who lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

For Mission
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love
on the hardwood of the cross that everyone might come
within the reach  of your saving embrace: So clothe us
in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love,
may bring those who do not know you to the
knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. 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.
