Diocesan Prayers

Prayer for the Diocese

Jesus, like a mother you gather your people to you; you are gentle with us as a mother with her children.

Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness; through your gentleness we find comfort in fear.

Your warmth gives life to the dead, your touch makes sinners righteous.

Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us; in your love and tenderness remake us.

In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness, for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us

Anselm (1109)

Answer to Prayer

The Lord be Praised!

Father God, Loving Lord:

We thank you for the healing of Jeannette, and her imminent release from hospital. We are grateful you hear the prayers of your people. We ask for continued healing for her and for all in our prayers, that they may enter into the state that you have created us all for, shalom: peace, health, wholeness, completeness, wellness, fullness of relationship with You and with others.

With gratitude, love, and adoration;

Amen.
