Passage from The Common Book of Prayer: Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen. Heidelberg Catechism: 1. Q.What is your only comfortin life and death? A.That I am not my own, 1 but belong with body and soul,both in life and in death, 2 to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ. 3 He has fully paid for all my sinswith his precious blood, 4 and has set me freefrom all the power of the devil. 5 He also preserves me in such a way 6 that without the will of my heavenly Fathernot a hair can fall from my head; 7 indeed, all things must work togetherfor my salvation. 8 Therefore, by his Holy Spirithe also assures meof eternal life 9 and makes me heartily willing and readyfrom now on to live for him. 10 1. 1 Cor 6:19, 20. 2.
