DIOCESE OF SWANSEA AND ESGOBAETH ABERTAWE AC ABERHONDDU

Cycle of Intercessions

1st December 2019

to

31st March 2020

EDITOR’S NOTES

Cycle of Prayer

Each day has been divided into two sections: 1. The Diocesan Cycle 2. The Anglican Cycle

Each Ministry Area has been allocated a particular week. The Ministry Area Leader, clergy, lay ministers and any schools within a Ministry Area are prayed for during that week. Where there is space, Provincial or Diocesan intentions are mentioned.

When it is the turn of your Ministry Area to be prayed for, please pray, that day, for the work of the Cathedral as your mother church.

This Cycle of Prayer is intended to be used together with the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle “With All God’s People”, published by the World Council of Churches also with the Invitation to Prayer which can be found on the Church in website. However, they are not meant to be followed rigidly - in times of need appropriate prayers should be substituted.

Copies An electronic copy of the Cycle of Prayer is available on the Diocesan Website. Further hard copies are ONLY available from both Diocesan Resource Centres.

Proofing This text has been checked by the Diocesan Office. However, any errors or omissions in the text are my responsibility and I apologise in advance. If there are any additions you would like to see in this cycle then please contact me. Corrections should be emailed to the address below.

Communication Communication with the editor can be made by email to [email protected]

Copies An electronic copy of the Cycle of Prayer is available on the Diocesan Website. Further hard copies are ONLY available from both of the Diocesan Resource Centres.

This booklet has been compiled in conjunction with

THE ANGLICAN CYCLE OF PRAYER 2019 This lists all Dioceses in every part. of the world. It is only available on ‘The Official Website’ at: www.anglicancommunion.org/acp/

Liturgical

Each day is presented with the date, day and the Sunday Title or Saints/Feast Day taken from The Lectionary produced by The Church in Wales/Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru. If a minor saint’s day falls on a Sunday then it is not observed, unless it is your Feast of Title or Dedication, in which case it may take precedence over a Sunday in Ordinary Time. Otherwise it may be celebrated on the next available feria day.

Liturgical colours are indicated for Sundays and major holy days, reflecting widespread usage, but local custom may be followed if preferred.

This cycle of prayer should be used in conjunction with The Church in Wales Lectionary, copies of which are available from Churches Together Bookshop, City Church, Windsor Place, Cardiff, CF10 3BZ. Tel: 029 2022 7736 email: [email protected]

Father, we hold before you

our family in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon

and we open our hearts and minds to your Spirit:

Bless us as we gather in your name;

Guide us as we grow into the likeness of your Son;

Lead us by your Spirit to go out and make disciples of others.

God of our journeying, be our way and our truth and our life;

our beginning and our end.

We pray through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
