Welcome to Tuesday morning prayer from 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.

Let us Pray.

God who is rich in mercy

out of the great love with which he loved us,

in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

that he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace:

in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for what is right:
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful:
for mercy shall be shown to them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:

for righteousness’ sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
