Holy Wednesday Matins

Psalm 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2  He makes me lie down in green pastures;
	  he leads me beside still waters;
3  he restores my soul.
	  He leads me in right paths
      for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
    I fear no evil;
	for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff—
    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
	you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
	and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
    my whole life long.

Collect

Jesus,
receive our love and worship.
Show us how to give you what we have,
for nothing is too big or small
for us to offer, or for you to use.
Amen.

Prayer

Our Father,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
God of peace,
be with us through this night which waits for us;
bless us if it brings us sleep;
support us if it brings us pain or anxiety,
till we come once more to the morning light of another day.
Amen

The Blessing

May the life-giving cross
be the source of all our joy and peace.
Amen
