Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal,
have mercy on me.
From Psalm 51
Open my lips, O Lord, *
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
Glory to the + Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever
and to the ages of ages.
Amen.
A Reading: I Peter 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ!
By his great mercy we have been
born anew to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead.
Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Pray The Psalter
Glory to the + Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever
and to the ages of ages. Amen.
