EDITOR’S NOTES

This is an interim edition of the intercessions, produced by the Diocesan Office. It is based on the previous year and is intended as a provision in the temporary absence of a liturgical officer.

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 and also with the Invitation to Prayer which can be found on the 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 of the Diocesan Resource Centres.

D I O C E S A N P R A Y E R

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 our Lord. Amen.
