Morning Prayer Lake Superior, with Madeline Island in the distance. Prelude: Maiden Voyage by Herbie Hancock The congregation stands. One: Lord, Open our lips. All: And our mouth shall proclaim your praise. Glory to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. One: Let us pray. All: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’ Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices, together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Break forth together into singing, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted the people, and has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared this holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. (From the 52nd Chapter of Isaiah). One: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. All: Amen.

The Congregation sits for prayers.

One: Dear people of God, for whom and for what do we pray? All: A time of open prayer, both spoken and silent. When the time is right, the congregation prays the Lord’s prayer, using the words closest to the heart.

Psalm 24

One: The earth is the Lord’s All: And all that is in it, the world, and those who live within it; For God has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in this holy place? Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their salvation. Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Sung by all: Psalm 24 Sung Response

A time of silence “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)

Dwelling in the Word: Matthew 25

Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
