​A May Prayer

6/5/2022

2 Comments

 
May

I cannot tell you how it was,
But this I know: it came to pass
Upon a bright and sunny day
When May was young; ah, pleasant May!
As yet the poppies were not born
Between the blades of tender corn;
The last egg had not hatched as yet,
Nor any bird foregone its mate.
I cannot tell you what it was,
But this I know: it did but pass.
It passed away with sunny May,
Like all sweet things it passed away,
And left me old, and cold, and gray.

Poem by: Christina Rossetti

A Blessing

​Always remember to forget
     The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
     The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
     The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
     Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
     The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
     The blessings that come each day.

We would like to thank everyone for their help and support over the Holy week and Easter.

Eternal God and Father,

We thirst for your love,
We long for your presence,
We yearn for your peace.
Come, Lord, refresh, renew and restore us in your service
That we may live to your glory;

Through him who gives us the water of life,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

​Amen.

Prayer: The War in Ukraine

2/3/2022

0 Comments

 
If you are struggling to know how to pray for today’s situation in Ukraine, we invite you to pray this prayer:‍

Heavenly Father,

Your will for your people is peace, not war. 
Pour out on our world, especially in Eastern Europe, your Spirit of compassion and solidarity.
Grant all those who believe in you the strength to be close to those who suffer
and the courage to resolve their differences and conflicts in truth and without resort to arms.
Be with the widow, the orphan, the refugee and the peacemaker.
Bind us all into the peace of your Kingdom.
​
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen

Give to us your people, living God, a renewed faith and a bold vision
that
 we may proclaim the Good News of your Son with faith,
That your kingdom

Jesus Christ our Risen Lord.

Amen
 
God of Mission, who alone brings growth to your Church,

Send your Holy
 Spirit to give vision to our planning, wisdom to our actions, and power to our witness.

A Prayer for December

Holy Jesus,

By being born one of us, and lying humbly in a manger,
you show how much God loves the world.
Let the light of your love always shine in our hearts,
until we reach our home in heaven,
​and see you on  your throne of glory.

Amen

Thank you, Lord, for this day. 
May I live it in the spirit of the gospel, Looking on everyone I meet  with friendliness and compassion. 
May I live it also in care for the earth, given to us to enjoy; may I be  grateful for all the earth gives me. 
Give joy and peace to all I meet this day. 
I pray this with Mary, mother of the Church.
