1st Prayer: December 11,2010


Look with mercy upon me in my doubts and perils,

glorified Son of God, who alone are compassionate

and will pardon, heal, save, protect, renew, restore,

lift up, support,

and create me again in blissful purity.

Yours is the power, yours is the salvation, and

yours the mercy.

Nothing is impossible for you.

Yours is might, exaltation, dominion

and kingdom without end, true essence and selfhood,

all-encompassing absolute being,

goodness and light, glorified as Lord,

to which nothing can be added or taken away,

adored in the Holy Trinity with inexplicable mystery

and given thanks forever also in the Holy Trinity

in the same act of worship equally with the same honor,

yesterday, today and forever.

Amen.



Scriptural Readings:

Ezekiel 3:16-19.

Ezekiel 3:16-19


16At the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me: 17Mortal, I have made you a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 18If I say to the wicked, “You shall surely die,” and you give them no warning, or speak to warn the wicked from their wicked way, in order to save their life, those wicked persons shall die for their iniquity; but their blood I will require at your hand. 19But if you warn the wicked, and they do not turn from their wickedness, or from their wicked way, they shall die for their iniquity; but you will have saved your life.



2 Timothy 3:10-15.

II Timothy 3:10-15


10Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11my persecutions and suffering the things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13But wicked people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, 15and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.



John 10:11-16

John 10:11-1611“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
