FOR MISSION

Heavenly Father,

you revealed your love

by sending your only Son into the world

that all might live through him:

grant that by the power of the Spirit

your Church may obey his command

to make disciples of all nations;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

God’s Joy in us our Joy in God

The Gospels are a procession of joy

rebuffing doubt, uncertainty and despair.

Elizabeth and Zechariah are filled with

the joy of a new born son.

The young maiden gives birth

and shepherds and kings fall down in joy and adoration.

Simeon and Anna no longer keep vigil.

The promise is fulfilled in the joy that leads

to a happy surrendered death.

The blind and the lame – welcomed the holy

joy of Jesus’ touch.

We may think that we could be really happy

if our pain could be cured, if we won the lottery,

if we could find the right person

to share our lives with. If only, If only ….

God’s joy is for us Now – in our immediate

circumstances.

For the Joy of the Kingdom – the Joy of eternal life

begins Now, not in some future fantasy.

This is the transforming joy of God

that changes lives and creates

messengers (disciples) of great joy for our world Now!

Fr. Colin Sutton, Diocesan Promoter of Retreats.

THE HOMELESS & NEEDY

O Lord, who rescues the poor from need, and restores the lonely to a home: look in mercy on all who suffer the lack of livelihood and, like you O Lord have nowhere to lay their head. And as you have assured those that do good to others that, inasmuch as they do it to your brethren, they do it unto you, let your pity and compassion move us to house the homeless and to lighten the burdens of the needy and distressed. Guide we pray, those that govern the nations, that your people may be set free from want and fear, and that in you all the families of the earth may be blessed. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

VACANT PARISHES

O merciful, God who knows the needs of your Church and people strengthen their faith and resolve during time of vacancy. We pray that provision may be made for them to receive spiritual feeding and that your sacraments are avaiable to them ; we ask this in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

INCREASE OF THE SACRED MINISTRY

O Lord, we pray that more men and women be guided by your Spirit to seek ordination to your Sacred Ministry. Guide those who feel called to seek advice. May we Lord, encourage those who feel called to serve you as Deacon and Priest and also those who are called to ministry as Reader. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

In your daily prayers remember June our Bishop as she ministers to her flock in the diocese. Pray also for all the bishops of the province.

Almighty God,
the light of the faithful and shepherd of souls,
who gave your servant June
to be a bishop in your church,
to feed your sheep with your word
and guide them by good example:
give us grace to keep the faith of the Church
and to follow in the footsteps
of Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
