Prayer

Diocesan Prayer

Father, we hold before you our family

in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon

And we open our hearts and minds to your Spirit:

Bless us as we gather in your name;

Guide us as we grow into the likeness of your Son;

Lead us by your Spirit to go out

and make disciples of others.

God of our journeying, be our way

and our truth and our life;

Our beginning and our end,

we pray through Jesus our Lord.

Amen.
