Writing: Job 25:1-26:14
Psalm:
Epistle: III John
Gospel: Luke 9:22-27
Collect: Abba, you sent Yeshua into the world to be rejected by the authorities and to be crucified for our sins. Guide us O Lord, that we would not be stumbling blocks to Messiah, nor his Kingdom, nor those who seek him. This we ask in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.

Monday: Heavenly Father, you are the Lord our God who delivers us. Help us to remember that this is true, and that it is you who have made us, and not we ourselves. This we ask through your blessed son, Yeshua. Amen.


Tuesday: Heavenly Father, you alone are God, and you alone are worthy of all worship. Help us that we may renounce and reject all false gods, whether ideas, or things, that we may truly love and serve you alone. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.


Wednesday: Heavenly Father, we use your name in cursing, in greetings, and just in passing through. Help us that when we pronounce your glorious name, that we should fear and respect you and your name always. Through Yeshua whose name proclaims your salvation and healing power we pray. Amen


Thursday: Heavenly Father, you have commanded us to set aside a day of rest here on Earth. Help us always to rest in you, to study your word, and to put you first on your day. This we ask in the name of Yeshua who kept the Sabbath to glorify you. Amen.

Heavenly Father; who gave Patrick the strength to persevere and power to forgive his enemies, give us the strength and ability to forgive those who wrong us, and willingness of heart to tell them of the great love of Yeshuah. This we ask in his name, who lives and governs with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen. (white)



Friday: Lord God, in this season of Lent may we be reminded that you seek mercy rather than sacrifice. Instead of denying ourselves in the body, we resolve to share the spiritual food of Yeshua with our neighbour. Amen.

Heavenly Father, you raised up Cyril as Patriarch of Yerushalayim to guide Bishops and Presbyters in their calling to be teachers and ministers of the sacraments. Raise up in this and every generation Bishops and Presbyters who will faithfully instruct your people in practical Christian faith and living. This we ask through the author and perfecter of our faith, Yeshuah haMoshiach our Lord, who livers and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen. (white)



Saturday: Heavenly Father, you commanded us to obey and respect our earthly parents as a preparation for obeying and respecting you. We pray that we would truly learn to honor and respect our parents that we may live long in the land which you have given us. This we ask in the name of him who obeyed and honored his parents, your son our Lord Yeshua haMoshiach. Amen.

Heavenly Father, you raised up Yosef to be a step Father to our Lord Yeshuah haMoshiach. Grant that every father would be as faithful as Yosef in his sacred responsibility of modeling your fatherhood to us. This we ask through the same Yeshuah haMoshiach our Lord, who called Yosef, “father.” Amen. (white)
