Lord Jesus Christ,
when scorn and shame besiege us
and hope is veiled in grief,
hold us in your wounded hands
and make your face shine on us again,
for you are our Lord and God.
Prayer with Psalm 31, Compline, Nov 26
Merciful God,
teach us to be faithful in change and uncertainty,
that trusting in your word
and obeying your will
we may enter the unfailing joy of Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Collect Prayer for this week
#MorningPrayer
Faithful God,
you know us and love us
beyond our imagining;
you treasure every detail
of our being.
Inspire our faithfulness to you,
that we may respond to your love
with love of our own
for you and for others.
Let the light of that love shine
in all we are and do.
Almighty God,
who sent your Holy Spirit
to be the life and light of your Church:
open our hearts to the riches of your grace,
that we may bring forth the fruit of the Spirit
in love and joy and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Pope Francis was an inspiring example of Christian leadership.
I give thanks for his long life of service and his encouragement of #ChristianUnity
Come, creator Spirit, light and truth;
bring us to the altar of life
and renew our joy and gladness
