The Daily Office: Morning Prayer for Saturday, 19 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: Psalm 55, Isaiah 10:20-27, Jude 17-25, and the Gospel of Luke 3:1-9. We pray for gracious and reflective sorting of our burdens, giving to Christ all that we should not carry across this threshold. 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.
