O thou who art known to men as Almighty
Creator of endless power and majesty,
Revealed to us in the life and death of
Jesus Christ,
and in the silence of men’s hearts
as the Spirit of Life and love,
we praise and adore Thee.
You are the our Source, our Way and our End.
With countless spirits, angels and archangels
and all the host of heaven,
we laud and magnify Thy glorious name,
ever more praising Thee, and saying,
“
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts:
Heaven and Earth are full of Thy Glory:
Glory to Thee, O Lord most high.”
Amen
Thanks
Thank
You, dear Lover of Mankind and of all creatures, for the peace and order which
we enjoy.
Uphold in Thine everlasting arms, those who have devoted their lives to keeping
the peace - our police forces, our soldiers, sailors and air personnel.
Work in our inmost hearts and wills, that we may support and encourage them
in the days to come. Amen
A Prayer for Creation
Lord,
We can see the world in a grain of sand and Heaven in a wild flower.
The glory of your creation
is all around us.
Help us to take time to look at it.
And thank you, O Creator.
Amen
O God, our captain and King, strengthen us with the power of Thy love. When
all seems hard and difficult, when people are unkind or our loved ones are
sick, give us a faith that hangs on. Give us a love that thinks of other people,
finds a way to help others and puts things right. Make us cheerful in difficulties,
slow to anger and quick to do good. Save us from the sin of self pity.
Amen
This is an ancient Celtic prayer sung by pilgrims and their
families at the time of parting, a prayer for blessing and for protection
in the months ahead.
Till I come back
Life be in my speech, Sense in what I say, The bloom of cherries on my lips, Till I come back again.
The love Christ Jesus gave Be filling every heart for me, The love Christ Jesus gave Filling me for every one.
Traversing corries, traversing forests. Traversing valleys long and wild - The fair white Mary still uphold me, The Shepherd Jesu be my shield, The fair white Mary still uphold me, The Shepherd Jesu be my shield.

Dear Lord, You are the inspiration and goal of all our deepest purposes.
May we do everything for You and in Your name Lord.
Be with us please when purposes are crushed through sin, suffering, hardness
of heart, death or any other evil. Help us to love and care for those whose
homes and plans are ruined. Heal the anguish in the distressed heart by just
inserting Your love. Also, dear Lord, help us with the most difficult part
of praying for those who hate us. Please watch over our nation and its ideals.
Shine into our hearts, O Lord, through our, Christ our Master. Lead us all,
at the last, into joyful brotherhood of Thy perfect Kingdom.
Amen
