Prayer for the Diocese

O God, by your grace you have called us in this diocese to a goodly fellowship of faith. Bless all our people and all our institutions. Grant that your Word may be truly preached and truly heard, your Sacraments faithfully administered and faithfully received. By your Spirit, fashion our lives according to the example of your Son, and grant that we may show the power of your love to all among whom we live; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
