Service Times at All Saints
Every Sunday at 9:00 AM - Morning Prayer and Holy Communion, followed by Fellowship.
Our parish finds great comfort in saying The Daily Offices of Morning and
Evening Prayer. Here (below) are the proper monastic prayers that many people
say before reciting the Daily Office. They help to quiet the mind and get
focused before you begin. Traditionally, the "Triple Prayer" is
said silently...the "Prayers before the Office" are done out loud.
When done as a public Office or in a group, the singular can be changed to
plural: "Open our mouths, O Lord, to bless thy Holy Name. Cleanse our
minds..." etc.
The Triple 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 them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee : Blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners ; Now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth : And in Jesus
Christ his only Son our Lord : Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of
the Virgin Mary : Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and
buried : He descended into hell ; The third day he rose again from the dead
: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father
Almighty : From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe
in the Holy Ghost : The holy Catholic Church : The Communion of Saints : The
Forgiveness of sins : The Resurrection of the body : And the Life everlasting.
Amen.
The Prayers Before the Office
Open my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy Name; cleanse my mind from all vain, evil, and distracting thoughts; enlighten my affection and kindle my will; that I may recite this Office with attention and devotion and so deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to Thee this Office.
