Whether popping into St Mary's for a bit of quiet prayer and reflection 🛐 or just to cool down 🥵 or leaving a donation for the Doncaster Foodbank 🥫 you're so very welcome.

Please do leave us a note on our prayer board of anything you would like to be prayed for - the good, the bad and the ugly. There is no need to identify your personal details. Today at our prayer cafe (last Thursday in the month) we included all the cards currently on the board in our prayers.

God knows what is on our heart's but sometimes writing a prayer and knowing that those words are being spoken out loud can help you with the burden you may be carrying or share a joy and spread the happiness.

Day 11 - Pentecost - The Spirit of Power ✨

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would come afresh, filling us with God’s love and drawing our Five closer to Him.

Almighty God,
Your ascended Son has sent us into the world to preach the good news of Your kingdom: inspire us with Your Spirit and fill our hearts with the fire of Your love, that all who hear Your Word may be drawn to You, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen 🙏

Day 10 - The Spirit Through Generations ✨

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would pour out faith across every generation and draw our Five into God’s family.

We ask that You send the Holy Spirit as a holy offering to the holy church.
As we assemble, give to all the saints the fullness of the Holy Spirit for the confirmation of true faith so that we may praise and glorify You through Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom glory and honour to the Father and the Son with the Holy Spirit in Your holy church are Yours now and forever!

Amen 🙏

[Hippolytus of Rome, ca. 170–ca. 235]

Day 9 - The Spirit of Evangelism ✨

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would help us respond to God’s prompting and become faithful witnesses to our Five.

Lord,
grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by You,
always follow Your plans, and perfectly accomplish Your Holy Will.
Help me respond to the slightest prompting of Your Grace,
so that I may be Your trustworthy instrument for Your honour.
May Your Will be done in time and in eternity by me, in me, and through me.

Amen 🙏

[St Teresa of Avila, 1515–1582]

Day 8 - The Spirit of Empowerment ✨

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would empower us to reflect Christ’s love and hope to our Five.

We beseech thee, Master, to be our helper and protector.
Save the afflicted among us; have mercy on the lowly; raise up the fallen; appear to the needy; heal the ungodly; restore the wanderers of Thy people; feed the hungry; ransom our prisoners; raise up the sick; comfort the faint-hearted.

Amen 🙏

[Clement of Rome, 1st Century]

Day 7 - The Spirit of Leadership ✨

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would lead us closer to God and help us carry our Five loved ones with faith.

My life flows on in endless song,
above earth’s lamentation.
I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing.
It finds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

Amen 🙏

[Attributed to Pauline T]

Day 6 - The Spirit and the Still Small Voice ✨

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would meet our Five in the stillness and help them hear the gentle whisper of God.

When the heart is hard and parched up,
come upon me with a shower of mercy.
When grace is lost from life,
come with a burst of song.
When tumultuous work raises its din on all sides shutting me out from beyond,
come to me, my lord of silence, with Thy peace and rest.
When my beggarly heart sits crouched, shut up in a corner, break open the door, my king, and come with the ceremony of a king.
When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust, O Thou Holy One, Thou Wakeful, come with Thy light and Thy thunder.

Amen 🙏

[Rabindranath Tagore - 1861 –1941]
