Daily Office Readings
The Daily Office, our Anglican plan for daily prayer and Bible reading, has been around for centuries, and is a spiritual practice to help us center each day in the presence of God. Below, you can find links to this week’s readings.
If you’re interested in praying and reading through the full Daily Office we recommend this website.
Ordinary Time - August 16
Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
