'A THOUGHT' - New Year 2016 - 2017
New Year
2016 - 2017
New beginnings are not
for us to look back with regrets
But rather to look forward with joyful anticipation
To do what we have never done before
To be daring and confident
To be more loving, more forgiving
and
more sharing
To be compassionate and
kind like never before.

A PRAYER
A PRAYER
FROM ETHIOPIAN
ORTHODOX CHURCH
Passion Week
Service
O
thou that art far from anger, abundant in mercy and righteous indeed, accept
our daily prayer and our supplication and accept our penitence and our humility
and our service before thy holy san heavenly ark and before thy holy, heavenly,
stainless and spotless alter.
Make us meet to hear the word of the Gospel and keep thy commandments
and thy law and thy testimony, and bless us that we may bear fruit, remaining
not one but increasing thirty, sixty and an hundred fold through Jesus Christ
our lord.
Remember
Lord, the sick among thy people; visit them in thy mercy and heal them in thy
compassion.
Remember lord, our fathers and brothers who have travelled and who have
sojourned to trade; bring them back to their dwelling place in safety and
peace.
Remember
Lord, the dew of the air and the fruits of the earth, bless them and keep them
without loss.
Remember Lord, the down coming of the rains and the waters and rivers
and bless them.
Remember
Lord, the plants and the seeds and the fruit of the fields every year, bless
them and make them abundant.
Remember Lord, the safety of thy own holy church and all the cities and
countries of our orthodox fathers the apostles.
Remember
Lord, the safety of man and of beast and of me thy sinful servant.
Remember lord, our fathers and our brothers and our sisters who have
fallen asleep and gone to their rest in the orthodox faith.
Remember
Lord, them that have presented unto thee this offering, and those from whom
they have brought them; grant them a good recompense in heaven and comfort them
all in their distress.
Remember Lord, the captives of thy people, and bring them again in peace
to their dwelling place.
Remember
Lord, the afflicted and distressed.
Remember lord, the Christian catechumens of thy people, show them thy
pity and have mercy upon them, and establish them in the right faith banish
from their hearts all remnant of idolatry; confirm in their hearts thy law and
thy commandments and they fear and thy righteousness and thy holy ordinance; so
that they may know the power of the word wherein they have been instructed, and
in the appointed time make them all meet for the new birth and for the
remission of their sin and prepare them to be an ark for the Holy Spirit.
Remember
Lord, thy servants, the poor who are under oppression, have pity upon them and
establish them in the right faith, and make them a dwelling place of the Holy
Spirit through spiritual joy and the love of man, through thy only begotten Son
our Lord and our God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ, through whom to thee with him and
with the Holy spirit be glory an dominion, both now and ever and world without
end. Amen.
Glory
be to thee, Lord our God almighty, who has made us meet to hear the word of thy
holy Gospel and greet it and rejoice in it, again we ask and beseech that thou
should write the word of the holy Gospel in our hearts, And accept our prayers
in this thy temple wherein our lord Jesus Christ hath entered and send thy
mercy and thy compassion upon us and upon thy people, thoughthy only begotten
Son, for thine is the Glory and power, world without end. Amen.
