Monday - The Third Week After Epiphany

<h3><strong>Opening Scripture:</strong></h3><p>Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. <a href="https://www.esv.org/verses/Isaiah%2060%3A3/"><i>Isaiah 60:3</i></a></p><h3><strong>Confession:</strong></h3><p><i>Let us take a moment to confess our sins</i></p><p>Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. <strong>Amen.</strong></p><p><i>Grant to your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. <strong>Amen.</strong></i></p><h3><strong>The Invitatory & Psalter:</strong></h3><p><i>Officiant:</i> Lord, open our lips.<br /><i>People:</i> And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.</p><p><i>Officiant and People</i></p><p>Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:<br />as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.</p><p><strong>Venite </strong><i><strong>(O Come)</strong></i></p><p>The Lord has shown forth his glory: Come let us adore him.</p><p>Come, let us sing to the Lord; *let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *and raise a loud shout to him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, *and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *and the heights of the hills are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, *and his hands have molded the dry land. Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *and kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. * Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!</p><p>The Lord
