Prayer of the Week 14 June 2020
O God, your name is veiled in mystery, yet we dare to call you Father;
your Son was begotten before all ages, yet is born among us in time;
your Holy Spirit fills the whole creation, yet is poured forth now into our hearts.
Because you have made us and loved us and called us by name,
draw us more deeply into your divine life, that we may glorify you rightly,
through your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen

Prayer of the Week Trinity Sunday, 7 June 2020
Merciful God: we cry out to you in these anxious times:
where things have gone horribly wrong, and your people and church are filled with sadness and pain,
we pray that you will manifest yourself in your everlasting love.
Where people are at loggerhead or locked in a stalemate, speak to them,
and take them away from the paths of war and destruction.
Where your church is persecuted and people forbidden from speaking your name,
reach out to them in their darkness and be revealed as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
for you are always with us all the time, every place and you are the God of Hope.
We pray that the earth will be filled with your knowledge and wisdom
and that your light will envelope the earth dispelling darkness and evil in Jesus’ name.
Amen
