A note about St Hilda’s Day

November 19th is the date in the Common Worship Lectionary; November 17th is the date in Celebrating the Northern Saints. The latter was the traditional date until the Common Worship lectionary was drawn up. (I know that because I was vicar of a church dedicated to St Hilda in the 1980s.) I do not know why the compilers of CNS opted for the ‘old’ date, and I have honoured that date in this Prayer Diary. But having been taken to task on this matter in previous years, I thought I should offer this note by way of explanation. Whichever date you choose to observe this giant of Northern Saints, I hope that she is commemorated gratefully and joyfully. Richard Hill About this Prayer Diary

We continue to include in the Prayer Diary all those commemorated in Celebrating the Northern Saints, [CNS] and to remember our lay, residentiary and honorary canons on the day of the saints and influential people who have given their canonry its designation and/or stall in the Cathedral.

SUNDAYS

For each Sunday, we follow a well-established pattern:  First are intercessions for the Porvoo Communion (https://www.ireland.anglican.org/resources/493/porvoo-prayer-diary-2018). The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it to “share a common life” and “to pray for and with one another.”  Second are intercessions from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, available at www.anglicancommunion.org. Prayers on Sundays are for a Province of the Communion.  Thirdly we pray for our Link Diocese of Winchester.  Fourthly we remember our own Diocese of Newcastle, and in particular the Deaneries of Alnwick and Bamburgh and Glendale, their churches, people and organisations, including Church Schools, where possible, on the same day as the parish of which they are part.

WEEKDAYS

The pattern is similar on weekdays, but without the Porvoo Communion:

 Firstly, dioceses from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer  Secondly, our Link Diocese of Winchester.  Fourthly, people, parishes, churches and schools in Alnwick and Bamburgh and Glendale Deaneries.  On Thursdays, we pray for the work of the Mothers’ Union (first week) and for Christian unity (subsequent weeks).

We pray for our Link Dioceses as follows: Botswana during January, April and October. Møre during March, June and September. Winchester during May, August and November.

The Deaneries are incorporated in the Prayer Diary in such a way as to include the Benefices (with names of ordained and lay ministers) and also, for benefices with more than one church, the constituent churches, in order that every congregation – and the local community in which it is set - can be remembered at least once during the year.

I try to mark important days in the life of the Diocese (e.g. Diocesan Synods, Institutions and Licensings, ecumenical occasions) with a special note, but can only do so if I have the information early in the previous month. Please don’t hesitate to send me information and prompts in good time.
