Sealed With Sacrifice – Morning Prayer for the Third Thursday of Advent

It’s the Third Thursday of Advent in the Church Calendar. This week we are following the Daily Office lectionary with an episode Monday through Friday. Our general order and lectionary comes from the Book of Common Prayer Daily Office. We’ll sing “Great Are You Lord” by David Leonard, Jason Ingram, and Leslie Jordan. We’ll then offer a Prayer of Confession. We’ll read Psalm 50 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Scripture Lesson is Matthew 3:1-12 . 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.

Amen.
