Scriptures: 1 Peter 5:6-11; Psalm 36; Luke 22:47-53
Prayer of the Day: Kind Father, we have betrayed you and exchanged our hope for the bitterness of envy and jealousy and the shame of our selfish wills. In your goodness, do not leave us in our guilt but forgive your servants. As your Son spoke in forgiveness from the cross, help us to hear its voice call us to repentance and to the blessed gift of a clear conscience through absolution. Make us new that with the courage and strength of your love we may bend our wills and wait upon your wisdom. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Sermon: Luke 22.47-53
