Morning Prayer
Antiphons, psalms and canticle from the current Saturday in the Psalter
READING
None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. - Romans 14:7-9

INTERCESSIONS
We have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. With all who are baptized, let us give glory to the Lord, and ask him:
Lord Jesus, give us your Spirit to make us holy.
Send us your Holy Spirit,
- that we may acclaim you before the world as Lord and King.
Give us a sincere love,
- that the Church may be a loving family.
Give your life-giving grace to all the faithful,
- that they may receive with joy the gifts of the Spirit.
Give us the power of your Holy Spirit,
- to heal our wounds and make us strong.
Our Father...
PRAYER
Almighty Father,
may the love we have celebrated this Easter season
be out into practice in our daily lives.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Daytime Prayer
TERCE
READING
When we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, we were still enemies; now that we have been reconciled, surely we may count on being saved by the life of his Son? Not merely because we have been reconciled but because we are filled with joyful trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation. - Romans 5:10-11
The Lord is risen, alleluia.
- He has appeared to Simon, alleluia.
SEXT
READING
Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. Death came through one man and in the same way the resurrection of the dead has come through one man. Just as all men die in Adam, so all men will be brought to life in Christ. - 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
The disciples rejoiced, alleluia.
- When they saw the risen Lord, alleluia.
NONES
READING
The love of Christ overwhelms us when we reflect that if one man has died for all, then all men should be dead. The reason he died for all was so that living men should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life for them. - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Stay with us Lord, alleluia.
- For evening draws near, alleluia.
