Prayer for this week:

Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Noonday Prayer

(From Psalm 113)

Give praise, you servants of the Lord;
praise the Name of the Lord.
Let the Name of the Lord be blessed,
from this time forth for evermore.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
let the Name of the Lord be praised.
The Lord is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens.

A Reading

O God, you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are fixed on you; for in returning and rest we shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be our strength.
(Isaiah 26:3; 30:15)

Offer prayers for yourself and others, and take a few moments to meditate on the reading.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,

  hallowed be thy Name,

  thy kingdom come,

  thy will be done,

     on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

    as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

  but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

   for ever and ever. Amen.
