DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH CYCLE OF PRAYER 2016 Section 1 For use each Sunday throughout the year Section 2 For daily use throughout each month From Bishop Victoria Dear Friends, Prayer is central to all we do as the Body of Christ and I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for those who hold my ministry and the life of the Diocese in prayer before the throne of grace. As we progress through 2016 I ask particularly that we continue to pray for the thousands of refugees crossing the world in search of a safe home; that we commit to prayer and action climate change; and that the life of the Anglican Communion, especially Archbishop Justin, be upheld in our regular intercessions. This year our Province will see a General Synod in May and much prayer is needed for that gathering, again remembering especially Archbishop Philip; Archbishop Brown and Archbishop Winston. In this Diocese I hope we will resolve the matter of the Cathedral in the Square in 2016 about which we are already committed to praying for, at noon, daily. One last suggestion: the clergy of our beloved Diocese have committed to praying each day the morning office from “A New Zealand Prayer Book/ He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa”. Why not ask your parish priest if you can either join her or him daily for this act of prayer or seek out others who could come together with you to read the Scriptures in accordance with the Lectionary 2016 and to pray morning-prayer together. A number of us do exactly that, weekdays at St Peter’s, Upper Riccarton at 8.30 am. It’s is a most uplifting way to start the day.
