Michael Thorne Jarrett   Today's Readings: Psalm 90Deuteronomy 1:1-182 Peter 3 Confession The confession is said privately. The audio file begins after confession. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. A brief silence is kept Grant your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

You are worthy at all times to be praised by joyful voices, O Son of God, Giver of Life, and to be glorified through all the worlds.   Psalter The appointed Psalm is read together Psalm 90 1  Lord, you have been our dwelling place * in every generation. 2  Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, * from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3  You turn man back into dust * saying, “Return, O children of man.” 4  For a thousand years in your sight * are like the day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. 5  You sweep them away like a flood; * they are as a dream, like new grass growing in the morning: 6  in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; * by the evening it fades and withers away. 7  For we are consumed by your anger; * by your wrath we are dismayed. 8  You have set our iniquities before you, * our secret sins in the light of your presence.
