Prayer Diary 2021 PRAYER DIARY 2021 I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25: 31-46 PRAYERS A PRAYER FOR SEAFARERS: Lord God, we depend on you for life itself, and on seafarers to meet so many of our daily needs. Watch over all who go down to the sea in ships – on business, for leisure, or to rescue those in peril or difficulty. Keep them from danger, befriend them in loneliness, and bring them safely home to those they love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. A PRAYER FOR THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY: Almighty God, we pray for those involved in the shipping industry:for those who build, or own, or manage ships. Give them the will to care for those who go to sea, and grant to all who work at sea the blessing of safe ships, good food and just rewards for all their work; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. A PRAYER FOR MINISTRY TO SEAFARERS: Lord God, you show your love in providing for our needs through the service of seafarers. Bless the work of The Mission to Seafarers and kindred societies, who minister to seafarers and their families throughout the world. Raise up supporters and workers that this ministry may grow according to your will, and that seafarers be blessed through loving care and service, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. AMEN. A CONCLUDING PRAYER: Lord God, be the canoe that holds us in the sea of life. Be the rudder that keeps us on the straight course. Be the outrigger that supports us in times of great testing. May your Spirit fill our sails to carry us through each day, and keep our bodies strong so that we may paddle steadfastly on in the voyage of life. AMEN.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Ecumenism in the Archdiocese of Malta During the Episcopate of Archbishop Joseph Mercieca (1976–2007)
    ROCZNIKI TEOLOGICZNE Tom LXIII, zeszyt 7 – 2016 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rt.2016.63.7-19 * REV. HECTOR SCERRI ECUMENISM IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MALTA DURING THE EPISCOPATE OF ARCHBISHOP JOSEPH MERCIECA (1976–2007) A b s t r a c t. The long episcopate of Mgr Joseph Mercieca, Archbishop of Malta from 1976 to 2007, is characterized by the fruitful application and implementation of the Second Vatican Council in this European nation, at the southernmost tip of the European Union of which it has been a member since 2004. This research article studies the gradual development of the Ecu- menical Movement in this predominantly Catholic nation from the years immediately following the Council, right through the many initiatives during the period of Mercieca’s leadership of the Church in Malta, particularly the establishment of a Diocesan Ecumenical Commission on a sure footing, the collaboration with other Churches and ecclesial communities, the two pastoral visits of Pope John Paul II and the celebration of a Diocesan Pastoral Synod in the concluding years of his episcopate. This article serves as a case study on the genesis and the subsequent develop- ment of ecumenical relations in a local Church, the ecumenical initiatives taken over the years, and the way forward in this important pastoral dimension of an extrovert Church. Key words: ecumenism; Malta; Archbishop Joseph Mercieca; diocesan ecumenical commission; ecumenical relations. SETTING THE CONTEXT The long and fruitful episcopate of Mgr Joseph Mercieca,1 Metropolitan Archbishop of Malta from 1976 to 2007, is marked by many practical appli- Rev.
