From “Common Prayer: A Liturgy For Ordinary Radicals” (Nov. 16th, p. 521-522)

O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you
as the day rises to meet the sun.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Come let us sing to the Lord: let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation

Glory to your name, O Lord: you are our help and our shield.

Psalm 115:1-3, 9-11
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory: because of your love and because of your faithfulness.
Why should the heathen say: “Where then is their God?”
Our God is in heaven: whatever he wills to do he does.
O Israel, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

Glory to your name, O Lord: you are our help and our shield.

Isaiah 65:17-25 Revelation 21:1-8

Glory to your name, O Lord: you are our help and our shield.

Ignatius of Antioch said in the first century, “Our Lord was nailed on the cross so that through his resurrection he might set up a banner of victory throughout all ages.”

Prayers for Others

Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Lord, help us remember that no matter what things look like today, there is always a new dawn, a new morning, a new creation on the horizon. Your mercies are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, Lord. Amen.

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing,
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing,
once again into our doors. Amen
