For those of you wanting help in praying at home, this is how I use the SEC daily prayer with simple hymns and Taize chants. If you don’t recognise the music, please feel free to simply listen, to replace with a hymn you know or to skip over the chants. Morning Prayer:Returning to God. Holy One, open our lips: and we shall proclaim your praise. Glory to God, Source of all being, Eternal Word and Holy Spirit;*as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen. Tuesdays: From Psalm 51, Miserere mei, Deus Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; *in your great compassion blot out my offenses.Wash me through and through from my wickedness * and cleanse me from my sin.For I know my transgressions, * and my sin is ever before me.Against you only have I sinned * and done what is evil in your sight.And so you are justified when

Evening Prayer 22nd March
This evening we “join in prayerful solidarity”, by placing a lit candle* in our windows as “a visible symbol of the light of life, Jesus Christ, the source of hope in this life.” As we do so we pray: For all that is good in life, thank you,For the love of family and friends, thank you,For the kindness of good neighbour and Samaritan stranger, thank you. May those who are vulnerable, hungry or homeless, experience support,May those who are sick, know healing,May those who are anxious or bereaved, sense comfort. Bless and guide political leaders and decision-makers, with wisdom,Bless and guide health workers and key workers, with strength and well-being,Bless and guide each one of us, as we adapt to a new way of living. And may the light shining from our windows,across road and wynd, glen and ben, kyle and isle,be reflected in our hearts and hands and hopes. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Returning to God. Holy One,
