Third Sunday of Lent - March 3
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

The Daily Office Readings come to us from the BCP, 2019 edition. Anglican tradition affirms that the apocryphal texts are useful for encouragement and devotion but not the setting of doctrine.
