AGNU S DEI – LAMB OF GOD

Have you ever heard the words “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, have mercy on us” during Holy Communion?

This powerful prayer is called Agnus Dei—Latin for "Lamb of God"—and it has been part of Christian worship for over 1,300 years!

What Does It Mean?

“Agnus Dei” reminds us of how Jesus Christ is the perfect Lamb, offered for our sins. Just like John the Baptist declared in John 1:29:

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

This isn’t just a poetic title. It connects to the Passover lamb in Exodus, and the suffering servant in Isaiah 53:7, showing how Jesus fulfilled God's plan of salvation.

Where Do We Use It?

In the Anglican Communion, the Agnus Dei is sung or said during the Holy Eucharist, just before the congregation receives Communion. It’s part of what’s called the Fraction Rite—when the priest breaks the consecrated bread.

Here’s how it goes:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
Grant us peace.

These words are a prayer for mercy and a plea for peace, just before we receive the Body and Blood of Christ.

First introduced into Christian worship in the 7th century by Pope Sergius I.

It has remained in both Catholic and Anglican liturgies ever since.

In Requiem Masses (funerals), the words are changed to “grant them rest” a prayer for the departed.

Why Does It Still Matter Today?

In just a few short lines, Agnus Dei reminds us of:

The sacrifice of Christ
Our need for mercy
Our longing for peace
The power of the Eucharist

It is more than just a chant—it is a sacred moment of connection between us and the Lamb who was slain.

The next time you hear or say “Lamb of God…” during Communion, remember:
You are joining your voice with the Church throughout the centuries calling on Jesus, the Lamb, to wash you clean and fill you with His peace.

Let us approach the Table not in pride, but in humility—because the Lamb of God is always ready to receive us.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
(Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.)

In Anglican theology, Holy Scripture is the foundation of our belief and practice. It is not one voice among many it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe the Bible is:

Inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16)

Sufficient for salvation

A guide to daily life

The Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles says:

“Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation.”

This means that while tradition and reason are helpful, Scripture is the final word. It is God’s revelation the story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.

Anglicans read Scripture in community, guided by the Church and interpreted through prayer, study, and reflection.

In worship, we read from both the Old and New Testaments, along with a Psalm and a Gospel reading — every Sunday.

In daily devotion, Anglicans pray with Scripture through the Daily Office, and Lectio Divina, allowing the Word to shape their hearts.

We don’t twist Scripture to suit culture or personal opinions. We seek to be formed by it, corrected by it, and encouraged by it.

As Jesus prayed:

“Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” – John 17:17

Anglicanism invites every believer to know, love, and obey the Scriptures — not just occasionally, but as a daily spiritual discipline.

When last did you let the Word of God dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16)?

800k! 😲😲 She now sells her water and beverages chill, refreshing and satisfying...

When I got here, buying chilled drinks are almost impossible, no matter how scorching/hot the sun goes, or how thirsty you are for a chill drinks you won't be satisfied with whatever u get unlike what I'm use to...

Recently I notice the changes with the woman selling provision next to me, each time I bought a drink its now very cold or averagely manageable.

Yesterday, as I finished cooking my Christmas jollof, I decided to top it with a , so I went to her, the one I got was OK so I ask curiously...

You now have a freezer?

Yes, she answered

what do you power it with? (the village has no public electricity for over 10years now )

she said solar, 4 panels

Really? How much did u get it for

800k, wow!

I was really surprised 😲

Not that I haven't seen a solar powered refrigerator before.

But looking at the circumstances around her I couldn't believe she could afford it, but I was wrong...

she own it.

At this point, I don't know what to say or ask her again, though I have a question but if I spill it, she might get offended

So I work away.

With a prayer for her deep down in me that "God will bear her burdens for her".

The step she took in the last few months would not only serve her, but we, the community around her.

So dear, if you see a struggling small business, why don't u support them, morally or maybe financially if you can.



Happy new year in advance 😍

I don’t know how did this magic here.

But you see, this Gino party Jollof is the Oga kpata kpata of them all. No tomato paste comes close to this beauty.

Whoever initiated the idea to create this product deserves a huge pay rise.

This is good; if you haven’t tried it yet, go and check it out.

It's festive period, eat nice
