Alive In Front of Me – Morning Prayer for Easter Week

It’s Thursday in Easter Week in the Church Calendar. April 13, 2023. This week we are following the Daily Office lectionary with an episode Monday through Thursday. There will be no podcast Friday, April 14, 2023. Our general order and lectionary comes from the Book of Common Prayer Daily Office. I wrote a new song for us today called, “Alive In Front of Me” that comes out of today’s Gospel reading. We’ll read Psalm 8 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Gospel reading is Luke 24:36b-48 . We’ll say the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Collect of the Day. We’ll then have a time of prompted prayer. If you have a prayer request please submit it here.

Art: Ascension of Christ, Edde Guzman Thursday in Easter Week, Rite Two -Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. ///// Alive in Front of Me Ben Ward, 2023 I don’t know why I doubt But sometimes I do I can come off highest highs But then feel like I am losing The thing that held me close to You I’m needing something fresh and something new You, I need You, Jesus I need You to be Somehow alive in front of me Here You are Before me now And here I am At Your feet I bow Face to face God to man Holy here With peace I don’t understand
