The Daily Office: Morning Prayer. Our liturgy is a compilation from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, Enriching Our Worship, Volumes I & II, and the Iona Abbey Worship Book. Our readings this morning: Psalm 89:1-18, Jeremiah 16:10-21, Romans 7:1-12, and the Gospel of John 6:1-15. We pray to lean in to the struggle and pain this Lenten season, finding the gentle care our souls so desperately need in God’s embrace, and to, with God’s help, sift through all this experience and reap every blessing. We continue to use an inclusive-language Affirmation of Faith derived from Ephesians 3:15-17, written by John Schimminger of St. John’s-Grace Episcopal Church. The Bible version used for our readings and commentary references is the Fifth Edition New Oxford Annotated Bible, New Revised Standard Version, with the Apocrypha: An Ecumenical Study Bible (with minor adjustments for inclusivity).
