Psalms in 30 DaysSample

Morning Prayer:

Call to Prayer

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us: O come, let us adore him.

Confession of Faith

I believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God become human for us and our salvation, the only Mediator between God and humanity, born of the virgin Mary, the Son of David and servant of the house of Israel, one person with two natures, truly God and truly man. He lived a fully human life, having entered into the disorder and brokenness of fallen existence, yet without sin, and in his words, deeds, attitude, and suffering embodied the free and loving communication of God’s own light and life.

Adapted from the Reforming Catholic Confession

Canticle

Glory to God in the highest,
and peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King,
almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of the Father. Amen.
