Prayers

". . . I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for all, for rulers and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life . . ." 

I Timothy 2: 1-2

Welcome to our prayer chain.  We, as a diocese, believe in the power of prayer.  This diocesan prayer list is for use on Sundays and Major Festivals.   You may use it during the Biddings at the Eucharist, Morning and Evening Prayer, your daily prayers and in bulletins.

The letter "D" or "P" refers to the date of Ordination to the Diaconate or Priesthood.

A PRAYER (at daily devotions)  O merciful Jesus, you dwell in the hearts of us your servants; we pray you to inspire us with your purity; strengthen us with your might; make us perfect in your ways; guide us into your truth; and unite us to yourself and to the whole Church by your holy mysteries; that we may conquer every adverse power, and be wholly devoted to your service and conformed to your will; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, God forever.  Amen.

If you have special anniversaries or similar events in your parish for which you would desire the prayers of the diocese, please email or write the Bishop who will endeavour to include these in the next issue of the calendar.
