Baptism prayer, The Book Of Common Prayer.  ..Humbly we beseech Thee to grant , that he/she, being dead unto sin, and living unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in His death, may crucify the old self, and utterly abolish the whole body of sin; and that, as he/she is made partaker of the death of Thy Son, he/she may also be partaker of His resurrection; so that finally, with the residue of Thy holy Church, he/she may be an inheritor of Thine everlasting kingdom.”

Daily Readings for Lent: Tues, Feb 23, 2010

Tuesday, February 23 Freed from death

Romans 6:4-11  We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.  If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.  For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless that we should no longer be slaves to sin– because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.  For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.  The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
