Please pray for…
… the Church, whose witness is often weakened by disunity, that we may be a people of active faith rather than empty words. We pray for all clergy and people, that our life together may bring honour to Christ. Grant us humble hearts that choose sincere obedience, living out your grace each day with honesty and quiet compassion.
… Rev’d Dr Ian Mills as he is installed and takes up his duties as Rector of Bath Abbey.
… our Benefice, God our Father you have welcomed each one of us in Jesus and called us to be his body in this place; send us your Holy Spirit at this time of uncertainty and change, to fill us with vision, energy, and faithfulness in prayer, that we may be true to our calling to bring new life to our community.
… the world, for all situations of violence, hostility and racial prejudice where cycle of blame, ancient conflicts, and inherited divisions cause suffering. We pray for leaders and nations to break free from past grievances and choose paths of reconciliation, justice, and peace.
… our community, for our local streets, schools, workplaces, and homes. Help us to support one another in practical ways, offering second chances, kindness, and practical care in our daily lives.
… the sick and suffering, for all who are carrying heavy burdens in body, mind, or spirit. May they know your comforting presence, receive healing and rest, and find strength in the care of those around them.
… the departed, for those who have finished their earthly journey and rest in your eternal peace. We pray for all who mourn, that they may be comforted by the sure hope of your everlasting mercy and a fresh beginning in you.
Amen.
