Morning Prayer for Today

We gathered at 8a this morning to join together in Morning Prayer. The canticle for today was:

Christ, as a light illumine and guide me. Christ, as a shield overshadow me. Christ under me; Christ over me; Christ beside me; on my left and my right. This day be within and without me, lowly and meek, yet all-powerful. Be in the heart of each to whom I speak; in the mouth of each who speaks unto me. This day be within and without me, lowly and meek, yet all powerful. Christ as a light; Christ as a shield; Christ beside me on my left and my right

and the meditation for today...

Receive our thanks for night and day, for food and shelter, rest and play. Be here our guest, and with us stay,

For this small earth of sea and land, for this small space on which we stand, for those we touch with heart and hand,

In the midst of foes I cry to Thee, from the ends of earth, wherever I may be, My strength in helplessness, oh, answer me!

Make my heart to grow as great as Thine, so through my hurt Your love may shine, my love be Yours, Your love be mine,

For those who've gone, for those who stay, for those to come, following the Way, be guest and guide both night and day,
