O my God,
You are the unsearchable abyss of peace,
the ineffable sea of love,

and the bestower of affection!
You are the God who sends peace to those that receive it;
open to us this day the sea of Your love,
and water us with the plenteous streams from the riches of Your grace.
Amen

Partakers Friday Prayers
5 June 2020
We pray together and when Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!
O Almighty and all-knowing God,
Who is without beginning or end!
Who is the giver, preserver, and rewarder of all virtue!
Grant me to stand firm on the solid foundation of faith,
be protected by the invincible shield of hope,
and be adorned by the nuptial garment of charity.
Grant me by justice to obey you,
by prudence to resist the crafts of the Devil,
by temperance to hold to moderation,
by fortitude to bear adversity with patience.
Grant that the goods I have I may share liberally
with those who have not,
and the goods which I do not have I may seek with
humility from those who have.
Grant that I may truly recognise the guilt of the evil I have done,
and bear with equanimity the punishments I have deserved;
that I may never lust after the goods of my neighbour,
but always give thanks to you for all thy good gifts.
Plant in me, O Lord, all thy virtues,
that in divine matters I might be devout,
in human affairs wise,
and in the proper needs of the flesh onerous to no one.
And grant that I may never rush to do things hastily,
nor balk to do things demanding,
so that I neither yearn for things too soon,
nor desert things before they are finished.

Partakers Friday Prayers
for the Persecuted Church Worldwide
We pray together and when Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!
God of all comfort, for those who are tortured both in body and mind, give them the grace to endure and to see their suffering as part of following in Christ’s footsteps. Merciful God, for those asked to pay the ultimate price; who are martyred because of their love for you, may they truly know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. Amen
Father God, for those who are widowed and orphaned may they know the comfort that comes from your promised presence even when they walk through the valley. May they be strengthened by your Spirit, enabling them to rejoice with the psalmist as they proclaim that the LORD will not abandon them in death. Amen
Heavenly Father, we ask that you would make us ever mindful of our brothers and sisters around the world who need us to stand with them as they suffer in your name. Teach us what it means to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony; we pray that we would not love our lives so much as to shrink from death.
We ask these things O Father, through the name of Your Son, Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us. Amen

15th May 2020 - Prayers with Deb Vears
I was standing outside in my garden the other evening as the light was fading. It was the kind of light where some of the garden solar lights have come on but not all, the birds were tweeting their good night songs and it was getting a little chilly.
It was that time between day and night that doesn’t last for long and it reminded me that our earthly lives are relatively short in the grand scheme of creation.
I don’t say this to be downcast but rather because it reminds us how blessed we are to wake up in the morning and because it encourages us to make the most of each and every day. St. John Henry Newman once said “fear not that thy life shall come to an end but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.” In other words, don’t just exist, live life to the full.
I know that’s not always easy, especially in these difficult times, but I recently read some words which, I think, can help us to do this.
Think deeply, speak gently, love much, laugh often, work hard, give freely and be kind. If we use those words as a rule for our lives we can really make the most of our time during our earthly lives.
And so today I’ll end with one of my favourite prayers which is attributed to John Henry Newman
Support us, O Lord, all the day long of this troublous life,
until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes,
the busy world is hushed,
the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.
Then, Lord, in your mercy,
grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
