Friday - 17th. Day of Lent
Today we pray for those living in Seymour Street, Sunderlan Road, Candace Court and Cardigan Close
Please pray for all those involved in the Ukrainian War
especially all those injured and killed
Prayer for Lent :
Loving God, Caring parent,
I am a child who so often turns my back
on your love.
Please accept my small acts of sorrow today
and help to release me from the self-absorption
that closes my heart to you.
As I journey through Lent,
let me remember the feast you have prepared for me
in the resurrection
and let me be filled with thanks to you.
Morning
Lord God
As we begin another day
May you help us to understand the preachings
Of the Prophets and of our Lord Jesus Christ so
That we can better appreciate their teachings and
A wider prospective of your power and might.
We all respect What is spoken here and reflect on the words we read.
More importantly, Lord, help us to enjoy each others
company today, Amen.
Evening
Oh Lord, go with each of us to rest;
if any awake, temper to them the dark hours of watching;
and when the day returns, return to us,
our sun and comforter, and call us up
with morning faces and with morning hearts,
eager to labour, eager to be happy,
and if the day be marked for sorrow,
strong to endure it. Amen.
(Robert Louis Stevenson)
