The Daily Office: Morning Prayer for 20 December 2020

The Daily Office with Jaika

The Daily Office: Morning Prayer. Our liturgy is a compilation from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, Enriching Our Worship, Volumes I & II, Prepare the Way: Celtic Prayers for the Season of Light, and Celtic Daily Prayer, Books One and Two. Today is the Winter Ember Saturday. Our readings this morning: Psalms 24 & 29, Genesis 3:8-15, Revelation 12:1-10, and the Gospel of John 3:16-21. We pray to bravely walk into the Light of Holy Dawn with Jesus, steeped in Christ’s Love and actively co-creating a new Way and World with Christ. 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.
