The Apostles Creed.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. II believe in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again 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.

The Nicene Creed.
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The (General) Confession. OGRP, p. 730.
Almighty and Most Merciful God, we confess and lament that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. Because the remembrance of our sin is more than we can bear, have mercy on us and forgive us. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, pardon us of all that is past and grant that we may ever serve you in newness of life, to the glory of your holy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

The Ten Commandments. (Decalogue)
And God spoke all these words:
1. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
5. Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

The 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, and the power, and the glory, forever, amen.

Prayer of St. Francis (Instrument of Your Peace).
Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith, Where there is despair, hope, Where there is darkness, light, Where there is sadness, joy. Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, not so much to be understood as to understand, not so much to be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we awake to eternal life. Amen.

The Serenity Prayer.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

Birth.
Lord Jesus, you said to let the children come unto me; Now we give praise and thanksgiving to you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for this child [name]. We pray you bless this child that [he] may grow in body and mind, and be filled with your Holy grace; In your precious name we pray, Amen.

Birthday.
O Heavenly Father, we are grateful to you for the life of [name] whose birthday we celebrate today. May on this day [he] be filled with joy, gratitude and excitement for the year ahead. Give [him] strength against all evil, comfort when discouraged or sorrowful, raise [him] up when [he] falls, and give [him] a discerning heart. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

(God of) Comfort.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. Amen. 2Cor. 1:3-5

Death.
Lord Jesus, you too have felt the sting of death, [we] pray for your gracious judgment upon your servant, [name], that [he] having accepted you as [his] Lord and Savior, may now be received into [his] heavenly joy. You cried at Lazarus’ tomb, [we] pray that you will send the Holy Spirit to comfort [his] loved ones, family, and friends; in Christ’s name [we] pray. Amen.

Holy Week Prayers.
   Palm Sunday - Lord Jesus, you directed two disciples to get a donkey and colt to fulfill prophesy and they returned with them and put on them their cloaks, and you sat on them as you entered Jerusalem and the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (Based on Matthew 21:1-11, Zechariah 9:9). I start this emotional week with anticipation, then to despair, and ultimately to salvation.
Now, Oh Lord, the wonder of the love that you demonstrated towards me through your death on the cross leaves me staggering. Father God, in Your great love for me, You made the One who had no sin to become sin, so that in Him I might be clothed in your righteousness. Lord Jesus, You took up my sin and bore my suffering. You were pierced and slaughtered for my transgressions, and by Your wounds, I am healed. Holy One, I can’t believe in all the suffering that You did not open Your mouth in self-defense. God, I am so often tempted to defend myself and make myself look better to others. Thank You for willingly going to the cross. Oh God, the wonder of the cross is both too horrible and too hopeful for my human mind to fathom. Holy Spirit fill me with a deeper understanding of how profound the work of calvary is in my life. Awaken in my soul deeper gratitude for the price you paid. Fill me with a heart of praise! (Based on 2 Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 53:1-6).
   Holy Monday - Holy One, in my humanness I have such an aversion to suffering. Yet, your Word invites me to rejoice when I suffer because I get to enter, in a very small way, into the suffering of Christ. Truthfully, this is such a hard concept for me. Thank you for the small ways You’ve allowed me to suffer through my life because those experiences have carved into my soul a deeper appreciation for Your suffering. I ask You, Holy Spirit to give me a far greater appreciation for the suffering of Christ and to form within me, the same attitude which was found in Christ Jesus, who gave up all the privileges of heaven and became obedient to the Father’s plan even, death on a cross. Create in me the humility of Jesus so that I might respond to You, in obedience. (Based on 1 Peter 3:12-13 and Philippians 2:5-8).
   Holy Tuesday - Lord, remind me as I celebrate Your death and resurrection that I have been crucified with Christ. My old life is dead. I have been resurrected into a new life in Christ. Through my union with Christ, You, Lord, live your life through me. I praise You, Lord, that I don’t have to try harder to be holy, I simply have to live life out of my union with Christ. Remind me, as I celebrate your death and resurrection this week, that my life is not my own. I’ve been bought with a price and it is my joy to surrender to You in all things. As You live Your life through me, my life is continually resurrected in You! (Based on Galatians 2:20 and 1 Corinthians 6:20).
   Spy Wednesday - Holy One, I cannot imagine the heartbreak of the disciples between Friday and Sunday. It is such a reminder to trust you with the in-between times of my life when I feel like I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Thank you that just when it feels as though all hope is lost, You are there. Strengthen me as I wait for resurrection in my life. Help me to remember, that it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Strengthen me, Holy Spirit to commit as the Psalmist did, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I hope.” I praise You that daily I can have hope because You live! I pray that through this resurrection week, You would renew my hope, joy, and peace, moment by moment, and flow through me with hope to others. (Based on Lamentations 3:25-26, Psalm 130:5, and Romans 15:13).
   Maundy Thursday - Lord God, I ask that You would give me a renewed spirit of wisdom and revelation so that I might fully realize the hope that the resurrection brings. I praise You that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in me! Wow! Holy One, what a staggering thought! I praise You, Lord Jesus, because You are now alive and seated at the right hand of the Father and have been given all authority, dominion, and power over the present age and the age to come. When my heart fills with fear, remind me Lord that You have all power and authority both now and forever more. I praise You, that You reign supreme and no evil can prevail against You. The victory is Yours! (Based on Ephesians 1:17-22).
   Good Friday - Lord, I praise You that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me! He is able to give wisdom and strength when I need it. How I thank You that after you were resurrected You promised You would leave us a counselor who would be with us and in us. What a gift! All the dynamic power of life in the Spirit is readily accessible to me. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit I pray as I celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. May I know how life-changing His resurrection is for me. I praise You that because He lives, I also will live eternally with Him, and the Spirit of Christ will give life to my mortal body. (Based on Romans 8:11, John 14:15-31)
   Black Saturday - Oh Lord God, as I celebrate Easter and the triumphant victory of Jesus Christ over death and hell and sin, I fall down before You and worship You. I cry with others around the world, “worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” All of creation bows before You Lord Jesus because You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords who has won the victory and conquered death! (Based on Revelation 5:12, Philippians 2:10-11).
   Easter Day - Almighty God, who through thine only-begotten Son Jesus Christ hast overcome death and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by thy life-giving Spirit; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with thee and the same Spirit forever, one God, world without end. Amen.
