Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Let your souls receive instruction
23Draw near to me, you who are uneducated,
and lodge in the house of instruction.
24Why do you say you are lacking in these things,a
and why do you endure such great thirst?
25I opened my mouth and said,
Acquire wisdomb for yourselves without money.
26Put your neck under herc yoke,
and let your souls receive instruction;
it is to be found close by.
27See with your own eyes that I have laboured but little
and found for myself much serenity.
28Hear but a little of my instruction,
and through me you will acquire silver and gold.d
29May your soul rejoice in God’se mercy,
and may you never be ashamed to praise him.
30Do your work in good time,
and in his own time Godfwill give you your reward.

Confession
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.
