INTRODUCTION
“What matters most is perseverance in love and in prayer through the power of the Spirit.”
Fr Mark Gibbard SSJE
The Diocesan Calendar of Intercession is offered as an aid in the daily prayer of our diocesan family. The left-hand column is a slightly revised version of the Anglican Cycle of Prayer. The right-hand column reflects the diocese and its international links. Any corrections or suggestions are welcomed by me c/o Bishopscroft.
