Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.
2 The Opening Canticle,
God who is rich in mercy out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up with him: and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus that he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace: in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind.

set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.

7 The Canticle, A Song of Isaiah
Blessed are the poor in spirit:
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn:
For they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek:
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for what is right:
For they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful:
For mercy shall be shown to them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
For they shall be called the children of God.

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matt.5.3-10
8 The Apostles’ Creed may be said.
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Lord have mercy.

now and for ever. Amen.
