A prayer of St Augustine 

Breathe in me, O holy spirit

That my thoughts may be holy.

Act in me, O holy spirit 

That my work may be holy.

Draw my heart, O holy Spirit

To love what is holy. Amen

 

Day 1: Prayer for our churches

Opening

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

Reflection

“The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”  John 17.22-23

 

Our church is our family, the home from which we seek to build God’s kingdom. We pray today for unity among all the people of our churches, that disagreements may be resolved and the Holy Spirit might open our hearts to cooperation and love for the glory of God’s kingdom.

 

Petition

O Holy Spirit, enlighten us, guide us, and unite us as one body in Christ. Help us to see beyond our differences and work together for the good of our church and the growth of God’s kingdom. We offer this our prayer for the healing of any divisions and the strengthening of our community. Bless us in our faith as we seek to extend your kingdom Amen.

 

Closing

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and shall be forever. Amen.
