Weekday Lectionary Year 1

EDITOR’S NOTES

This booklet has been compiled in conjunction with

THE ANGLICAN CYCLE OF PRAYER 2016/7 This lists all Dioceses in every part of the world. It is only available on ‘The Official Website’ at: www.anglicancommunion.org/acp/

The Anglican Cycle of Prayer is published by the Anglican Communion Office and is © 2004 Anglican Consultative Council.

Liturgical

Each weekday is presented with the date, day and the Saints/Feast Day taken from The Lectionary produced by The Church in Wales/Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru. The colour of a Sunday is stipulated in the title. All other days (unless feasts of the Lord) are divided between Red and Black letter days. Feasts of the Lord and Red Letter days have a Gloria and a proper preface.

If a saints day (black/minor) falls on a Sunday that day has been superseded. If it is your feast of title or dedication then it may take precedence over a Sunday. That said, it can be celebrated on the next available feria day. Copies of the Lectionary are available from 39 Cathedral Road, Cardiff, CF11 9XF 02920 348259.

Proofing

Cycle of Prayer

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

With the implementation of Ministry Areas, these (as Ministry Areas currently exist) have been allocated to a particular week. The Ministry Area Leader, clergy, lay ministers and any schools within a Ministry Area are prayed for. 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.

Daily and Sunday prayer should also include the and his ministry,

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 Church in Wales 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.
