Prayers we will use in Sunday worship

 Below are three prayers we used in our first filmed service. We can not film in Church any longer, so the Spiritual Communion video is the last we can do in Church at the moment.

The Lord's prayer

Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy Kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses 
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
for thine is the Kingdom,
the power and the glory
forever and ever,
​Amen

The Serenity Prayer

Lord grant me the serenity
to accept the things I can not change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
​Amen

The Grace

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all,
evermore,
​Amen

Prayers for each day...

I will be posting a prayer for each day of the week taken from the Community of St Chad Prayer book

​

Monday
​
Save the afflicted;
have mercy on the lowly;
raise the fallen;
appear to the needy;
restore the wanderers;
feed the hungry;
ransom our prisoners;
raise the sick;
comfort the faint-hearted.
Clement of Rome(1st Century)

Tuesday
​
Be within me to strengthen me,
without me to preserve,
over me to shelter,
beneath to support,
before me to direct,
behind me to bring back,
round about me to fortify.
​Lancelot Andrews (1555-1626)

Wednesday
​
O God, you are the light of the minds that know you,
the life of the souls that love you,
and the strength of the wills that serve you:
help me to know you that I may truly love you,
and so to love you that I may fully serve you,
whom to serve is perfect freedom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
​Augustine of Hippo (354-430)

​

Thursday
​
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love,
where there is injury, pardon
where there is doubt, faith,
where there is despair, hope,
where there is darkness, light,
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Francis od Assisi (1182-1226)

​Friday

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits thou hast given me,
for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly, day by day.
Amen.
St Richard of Chichester (1197-1253)

Saturday

​
Grant me the Spirit of love
which does not want to be rewarded,
honoured or esteemed,
but only to become the blessing and happiness
of everything that wants it;
love which is the very joy of life,
and your own goodness and truth within the soul
​William Law (1686-1761)

Sunday

Give us grace, o Father,
not to pass by suffering or joy without eyes to see.
Give us understanding and sympathy,
and guard us from selfishness,
that we may enter into
the joys and sufferings of others.
Use us to gladden and strengthen
those who are weak and suffering;
that by our lives
we may help others to believe
and serve you,
and shed forth your light
which is the light of life.
​H.R.L. (Dick) Shephard (1880-1937)
