A Prayer for Ukraine

Loving God,

We pray for the people of Ukraine,

for all those suffering or afraid,

that you will be close to them and protect them.

We pray for world leaders,

for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.

We pray for the world

that in this moment of crisis,

we may reach out in solidarity

to our brothers and sisters in need.

May we walk in your ways

so that peace and justice

become a reality for the people of Ukraine

and for all the world.

Amen.

THE GOD WHO SPEAKS – A YEAR OF THE WORD

The Bishops of England and Wales have called for a Year of the Word under the title, ‘The God Who Speaks ’.   

God has spoken to human beings since the dawn of creation, but very few have listened as intently as they might!  

This Year will offer a wealth of ideas, resources and experiences for us to deepen (or create) our relationship with the God

who speaks to us through the Bible.
