In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice;

in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for You and watch.

My mouth is filled with Your praise,

and with Your glory all the day.

O Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will declare Your praise.

Psalm 20

A Psalm of David.

          May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!

          May he send you help from the sanctuary

and give you support from Zion!

          May he remember all your offerings

and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

          May he grant you your heart’s desire

and fulfill all your plans!

          May we shout for joy over your salvation,

and in the name of our God set up our banners!

            May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

          Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with the saving might of his right hand.

          Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

          They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand upright.

          O Lord, save the king!

May he answer us when we call.

Mark 16:1-8

The Resurrection

16 vWhen the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Lord’s Prayer

Daily Prayer

O Lord, answer us in the day of trouble; may Your Your holy Name protect us. Grant Your Spirit to hear Your Word and believe that by the merits of Your Son we have eternal life and that we would live according to Your will. Watch over Your Church here on earth, guide it by Your Holy Spirit that it may proclaim the Gospel to all nations and be a refuge for all believers, in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

Luther’s Morning prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
