Please pray for…
… the Church, that all may be one in Christ, our risen Saviour. We pray for Bishops Michael and Fiona, our Archdeacon Charlie, our Asst Area Dean Nigel, all clergy, lay readers and ministers in this Diocese that they may be faithful ministers of your truth and grace. Father God, grant that every member of the Church may grow in knowledge of you and faithfully serve you that your Kingdom may come and your will be done.
… Rev’d Dr Ian Mills as he takes up his responsibilities in these early days of being Rector of Bath Abbey.
… our Benefice, especially during this interregnum that our faith stays true and strong. Father God, give us grace to do your will in all that we plan and do that our works may bring glory to your Name.
… the world, for all war torn areas, conflicts, situations of violence, hostility and racial prejudice. We pray for our King and all who hold authority in the nations of the world that there may be justice and peace on the earth.
… our community, for the people among whom we live and work; for our families who need our time and affection, for any friends who feel hurt or let down, for our neighbours; for those who suffer from any grief or trouble that they may be delivered from any distress
… the sick and suffering, for all who are burdened by worry or pain, or undergoing treatment, may they know your comforting presence, receive healing and rest, and find strength in the care of those around them.
… the departed….we remember with thanksgiving those who have died. May light perpetual shine upon them 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.
Amen.
