Prayer for the Day
A prayer that our lives tell God's story
In the beginning was the Word: the Word inspires and infuses all of our words, our stories and songs.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us: God’s story of hope and life was opened for all.
This becomes our story, our song: all things work together for good for those who love God.
May our lives tell your story, loving God and our song be for you, today and forever.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

A prayer for gladness and peace
Grant us, O God, to pass each day in gladness and peace, without stumbling and without stain, that reaching the eventide victorious over all temptation, we may again praise you, the eternal God, blessed over all things now and forever. Amen.
Mozarabic Sacramentary (10th century)

“In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.” (vv. 7-10)
