Monday Morning.

Let us pray.

Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

The General Confession (to be said by all).

LMIGHTY and most merciful Father; We have erred, and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare Thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore Thou them that are penitent; According to Thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of Thy Holy Name. Amen.

Thanksgiving.

MERCIFUL God, Who hast preserved us from the dangers of the past night and brought us to see the light of another day, we give Thee thanks, we bless and praise Thy Holy Name. And here we offer to Thee and to Thy service, ourselves, our spirits, souls, and bodies, and beseech Thee to accept this our reasonable service. May our prayers and praises and thanksgivings be set forth in Thy sight as the incense, for we thank Thee with all our hearts, and will praise Thy Name for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Here may be introduced the Collect, and Special Prayers.)

Intercession.

LMIGHTY God, be pleased to hear our humble

Aintercession for all mankind. We pray for Thy holy

universal Church, that it may be inspired with the Spirit of truth, unity, and concord. We pray especially for that portion of the Church in which we live; make all the members sound in faith and holy in life. Bless the Queen and all our rulers, spiritual and temporal (especially the Bishop of this diocese). Send down upon all the clergy, together with the congregations committed to their charge, the healthful spirit of Thy grace. Prosper the work of the Church in this parish. Behold in mercy this family and household; grant to each of us grace faithfully and cheerfully to fulfil those duties which Thou hast given us to do. Give to us and to our relatives and friends such blessings as may be best for them for time and eternity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, &c.

From our enemies defend us, O Christ. Graciously look upon our afflictions. Pitifully behold the sorrows of our hearts. Mercifully forgive the sins of Thy people. Favourably with mercy hear our prayers. O Son of David, have mercy upon us. Both now and ever vouchsafe to hear us, O Christ. Graciously hear us, O Christ; graciously hear us, O Lord Christ.

Benedictory Prayer.

FORGIVE, O Lord, our past wanderings, and pardon

A General Thanksgiving.

LMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies, we Thine unworthy servants do give Thee most humble and hearty thanks for all Thy goodness and loving-kindness to us, and to all men; [particularly to -.] We bless Thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for Thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we beseech Thee, give us that due sense of all Thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we shew forth Thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to Thy service, and by walking before Thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to Whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

Intercession.

O Church,

daries, and make it rich in good works. Bless this parish, bring back to Thyself those who are wandering from Thee, strengthen those that are weak, give zeal to all Church-workers, have mercy on the sick and the afflicted, and turn their sufferings into blessings. Be favourable to all our relations and friends, grant that they may faithfully and earnestly do Thy Will, that they may evermore abide in Thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

LORD, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, Who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with Thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by Thy governance, to do always that is righteous in Thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Here may be introduced the Collect and Special Prayers.)

Our Father, &c.

O Lord, save Thy servants;
Who put their trust in Thee.

From the face of our enemy.

And let our cry come unto Thee.
