Li ving God, your Only-Begotten our Lord Jesus Christ gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of Christ’s life, suffering, death, resurrection and session in glory. As we give thanks for having made us one body in Jesus our Lord by water and the Holy Spirit, renew in us that mystery in bread and wine taken, blessed, broken and shared together to proclaim your glory until the Lord comes, who with you and the Holy Spirit, is one God, forever and ever. Amen. Readings Exodus 24: 3 - 8  Psalm 116:12 - 13, 15 -18  Heb. 9:11 - 15 Mark 14:12 -16,22 - 26 Good Morning to you. Covid is asking us to do the opposite of all what we were doing.

As we acknowledge our human frailty, we call to mind our sins of word, deed and omission, and confess them before God our Father. Silence Confession            You raise the dead to life in the Spirit:            Lord, have mercy....

This section of Psalm 145:10-21 speaks about God’s character . His faithfulness and God’s care for those who are in difficult situations and the Psalmists calls for a response. For God’s people to praise Him. God is faithful He fulfills his promises He loves all what he has made God is caring He upholds the fallen Lifts those who are bowed down Provides for the hungry Satisfies the desires He is righteous He is beside you He protects Whatever the circumstance is, God is faithful and his character never changes Even if we may face difficulties in life God is faithful and never changes. That is the experience of the Psalmist. Was that your experience of God in the past month? All what God has made, every creature is to experience God’s goodness and in return praise him. May you experience Gods goodness in the coming month.

To gain what? †     Don’t you’ll think, that such actions can break, wound and divide the Diocese, never to be restored to it original status †      Have we lost fai...
