QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION

The Christian life is one of constant renewal, turning and returning to God. In this season of your life, what would it mean to strip off the old self with its practices and clothe yourself with the new self?

MORNING PRAYER

I greet this new day with joy, O Lord,

for you are my light and my hope.

Do not let me fall prey to the anxieties of this world,

or be tempted by false charms,

but keep me ever faithful to you,

for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

EVENING PRAYER

Holy Comforter, Protector, and Deliverer,

at the close of this day I entrust to you

all my life and all those I hold dear,

knowing that your tender mercies

cover all my failings and all my fears.

Thank you for your unending love. Amen.
