MatinsThe Desert Shall Bloom
For waters shall break forth in the wilderness:
and streams in the desert.
The ransomed of the Lord shall return:
and come with singing,
with everlasting joy upon their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness:
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Yahweh Redeems Jacob
17The Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: I am the Lord your God, who punishes you for your own good and leads you along the paths that you should follow.
18Oh, that you had listened to my laws! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river, and great waves of righteousness. 19Then you would have become as numerous as the sands along the seashores of the world, too many to count, and there would have been no need for your destruction.
. . . . .Isaiah 48:17-19Confession
Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you,
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart.
We have not loved others
as our Saviour Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may delight in your will
and walk in your ways,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
