Pray with us today.

Holy and unfathomable God, Blessed Trinity, by your grace you have called your people to be a holy nation, a royal priesthood. Draw us more deeply into the Paschal mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus, our Great High Priest, that our intercessory prayers for the world and all its people may be obedient to your divine will.

May the worship, fellowship and service of the Church faithfully proclaim the story of your redemptive purposes from the beginning of creation. Through our lives and by our prayers may your kingdom come, and all things be gathered into Christ. Amen.

Join us in a prayer for Mothering Sunday 🙏

Creator God,
We thank you for your love which shapes us and helps us to grow.
On this Mothering Sunday
we give thanks for women who have been examples of self-giving love,
who have given time, wisdom and care to the nurture of children, their own or others.
We pray for those who find this a difficult day,
who do not have happy memories of their own mothers,
those who grieve for their mothers or for their children,
and those who long to be mothers but cannot be.
We remember mothers in the Bible,
giving thanks for the tenacity of Sarah
the generosity of Hannah and the courage of Mary.
May your Spirit continue to shape us, heal us and guide us today.
Amen
