St. Benedict’s Weekly Prayers: Week of March 8. 2026
/
The Third Sunday in Lent
The Collect:
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, for ever and ever. Amen. - BCP

For Peace in Iran and the Middle East
Ever-loving God, who hears us in our anguish and distress,
and longs for us to be free. We pray for the people of Iran and the wider Middle East at this time of fear and uncertainty.
Be near to those who are anxious; bring comfort to all who are suffering. Guide those with the power to make decisions, and lead them in the ways of wisdom, compassion, and moderation:
that people of goodwill would seek harmony and reconciliation.
Join us with our Christian brothers and sisters in all places, in praying for peace with justice, through him who is the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
A Prayer for this Parish
O God, our heavenly Father, make the doors of our Church wide enough to receive all who need your care, compassion, and fellowship; and narrow enough to shut out all pride, selfishness, and prejudice in the name of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen
