Prayer

4 Movements (read together):
Centering Focus (Visio - The Nicene Creed - Reflection and Petition - Lord’s Prayer

Centering Focus (Visio Divina - Psa 27:4)

Visio

”One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him…”

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God, begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human.

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.

Reflection and Petition
(Open your life to God and say what needs to be said)

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Scripture

Matthew 16:13-20

Peter’s declaration of Jesus’ messiahship

13 Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi. There he put this question to his disciples: “Who do people say that the son of man is?”

14 “John the Baptist,” they replied. “Others say Elijah. Others say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

15 “What about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered.

“You’re the Messiah,” he said. “You’re the son of the living God!”

17 “God’s blessing on you, Simon, son of John!” answered Jesus. “Flesh and blood didn’t reveal that to you; it was my father in heaven. 18 And I’ve got something to tell you, too: you are Peter, the rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell won’t overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you tie up on earth will have been tied up in heaven, and whatever you untie on earth will have been untied in heaven.”

20 Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Communion

Verse 1
Take me back to the garden
Lead me be back to moment I heard Your voice
Take me back to communion
Lead me back to the moment I saw Your face

Pre-Chorus
And it was all so simple, It was easy to love
No space between us, It was easy to trust

Chorus
'Cause You are closer, closer than my skin
And You are in the air I'm breathing in
And here's where the dead things come back to living
I feel my heart beating again
Feels so good to know You are my friend

Verse 2
And this is the garden; here in the place I find You close
This is communion; here in the place I'm fully known

Pre-Chorus
And it was all so simple, It was easy to love
No space between us, It was easy to trust

Chorus
'Cause You are closer, closer than my skin
And You are in the air I'm breathing in
And here's where the dead things come back to living
I feel my heart beating again
Feels so good to know You are my friend

Bridge
This is where I'm meant to be; me in You and You in me
And I don't have to prove a thing; You've already approved of me
(Repeat)

Chorus
'Cause You are closer, closer than my skin
And You are in the air I'm breathing in
And here's where the dead things come back to living
I feel my heart beating again
Feels so good to know You are my friend
