The Great Litany (read by St. John’s Parishioners)

The First Sunday in Lent opens with the Great Litany—one of the Church’s oldest prayers, first composed by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in 1544, even before the first Book of Common Prayer. For centuries, God’s people have returned to this prayer to name sin, fear, and need with honesty—and to do so together. Especially fitting for Lent, the Great Litany is shaped by gentle, persistent repetition, returning again and again to the simple plea, “Good Lord, deliver us.” In keeping with our Lenten Guide theme, this repeated prayer invites us to come just as we are, trusting that Christ meets us in our weakness and walks with us, step by step, through this season of renewal. In a world shaped by fear and distorted narratives, the Great Litany teaches us to tell the truth without panic or despair. Its steady repetition reminds us that we do not face what is broken alone. This Lent, we invite you to listen to this reading of the Great Litany and pray beyond Sunday morning—at home, on a walk, or when your own words feel insufficient. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 148)

4th Sunday after the Epiphany (2/1/2026)

In times like these, the Gospel does not give us the luxury of abstraction, and our baptism presses the question we would rather avoid: If God is who we say he is, then what does it mean for the Church to be credible?
