The Baptism of Jesus
A prayer for Coronavirus
Keep
us,
good
Lord,
under
the
shadow
of
your
mercy
in
this
time
of
uncertainty
and
distress.
Sustain
and
support
the
anxious
and
fearful,
and
lift
up
all
who
are
brought
low;
that
we
may
rejoice
in
your
comfort
knowing
that
nothing
can
separate
us
from
your
love
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
Amen.

The Sign of the Covenant
1
When
Abram
was
ninety-nine
years
old,
the
Lord
appeared
to
Abram,
and
said
to
him,
‘I
am
God
Almighty;
walk
before
me,
and
be
blameless.
2
And
I
will
make
my
covenant
between
me
and
you,
and
will
make
you
exceedingly
numerous.’
3
Then
Abram
fell
on
his
face;
and
God
said
to
him,
4
‘As
for
me,
this
is
my
covenant
with
you:
You
shall
be
the
ancestor
of
a
multitude
of
nations.
5
No
longer
shall
your
name
be
Abram,
but
your
name
shall
be
Abraham;
for
I
have
made
you
the
ancestor
of
a
multitude
of
nations.
6
I
will
make
you
exceedingly
fruitful;
and
I
will
make
nations
of
you,
and
kings
shall
come
from
you.
7
I
will
establish
my
covenant
between
me
and
you,
and
your
offspring
after
you
throughout
their
generations,
for
an
everlasting
covenant,
to
be
God
to
you
and
to
your
offspring
after
you.
15
God
said
to
Abraham,
‘As
for
Sarai
your
wife,
you
shall
not
call
her
Sarai,
but
Sarah
shall
be
her
name.
16
I
will
bless
her,
and
moreover
I
will
give
you
a
son
by
her.
I
will
bless
her,
and
she
shall
give
rise
to
nations;
kings
of
peoples
shall
come from her.’
Gospel: Mark 8:31-38
Jesus Foretells His Death and
Resurrection
31
Then
he
began
to
teach
them
that
the
Son
of
Man
must
undergo
great
suffering,
and
be
rejected
by
the
elders,
the
chief
priests,
and
the
scribes,
and
be
killed,
and
after
three
days
rise
again.
32
He
said
all
this
quite
openly.
And
Peter
took
him
aside
and
began
to
rebuke
him.
33
But
turning
and
looking
at
his
disciples,
he
rebuked
Peter
and
said,
‘Get
behind
me,
Satan!
For
you
are
setting
your
mind
not
on
divine
things
but
on
human
things.’
34
He
called
the
crowd
with
his
disciples,
and
said
to
them,
‘If
any
want
to
become
my
followers,
let
them
deny
themselves
and
take
up
their
cross
and
follow
me.
35
For
those
who
want
to
save
their
life
will
lose
it,
and
those
who
lose
their
life
for
my
sake,
and
for
the
sake
of
the
gospel,
will
save
it.
36
For
what
will
it
profit
them
to
gain
the
whole
world
and
forfeit
their
life?
37
Indeed,
what
can
they
give
in
return
for
their
life?
38
Those
who
are
ashamed
of
me
and
of
my
words
in
this
adulterous
and
sinful
generation,
of
them
the
Son
of
Man
will
also
be
ashamed
when
he
comes
in
the
glory
of
his
Father with the holy angels.’
Collect for
The Second Sunday of Lent
Almighty
God,
by
the
prayer
and
discipline
of
Lent
may
we
enter
into
the
mystery
of
Christ’s
sufferings,
and
by
following
in
his
Way
come
to
share
in
his
glory;
through
Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Amen.
