The diocese is asked to pray for the work of the Cathedral in its servant role and especially on those days in which your parish is remembered at the Cathedral.The titles of the Sundays and other days are from the Church in Wales Lectionary for 2016/17 Year A, Weekdays Year 1

A PRAYER FOR THE DIOCESE

Father, you gave us Jesus Christ your son to be both Lord and Saviour. By the power of your Spirit, renew your Church in this Diocese of Llandaff, and help us to bring the Good News of Salvation to all your people.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

GWEDDI DROS YR ESGOBAETH

Dad, a roddaist i ni Iesu Grist dy fab yn Arglwydd ac yn Iachawdwr.Trwy rym dy Ysbryd, adnewydda dy Eglwys yn Esgobaeth Llandaf, a chynorthwya ni i ddwyn Newyddion Da Iachawdwriaeth i’th holl bobl.

Gofynnwn hyn yn enw Iesu Grist ein Harglwydd. Amen.

God Has the Upper HandHow many difficulties are present in the life of every individual, among our people, in our communities; yet as great as these may seem, God never allows us to be overwhelmed by them. In the face of those moments of discouragement we experience in life, in our efforts to evangelize or to embody our faith as parents within the family, I would like to say forcefully: always know in your heart that God is by your side; he never abandons you! Let us never lose hope! Let us never allow it to die in our hearts! The “dragon,” evil, is present in our history, but it does not have the upper hand. The one with the upper hand is God, and God is our hope!

Pope Francis, the Church of Mercy

Patiently Give Your Reasons3

We should not dispute stubbornly with anyone; rather we should patiently give our reasons with the purpose of declaring the truth lest our neighbour remain in error, and not that we should have the upper hand.

St. Ignatius of Loyola This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any humam court. I do not even judge myself. I am not aware of anything against myself , but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God. 1 Corithians 4.1

We mere mortals – “Ni feidrolion”

“Gall mai nid ffordd Duw yw’r fyrraf, ond ffordd Duw sydd ddiogelaf” – Evan Lewis, Brynberian.

GweddiGweddi ffyddlon ydyw’r gennad,A elli anfon at dy Geidwad;Gweddi a ddaw â rhodd oddi wrtho;Anfon weddi’n fynych ato. Yr Hen Ficer Pritchard

Y Flwyddyn Newydd

Unwaith eto, nefol Dad,Cofiwn dy drugaredd rad;Rhoddaist inni, ddyddiau’n hoes

Dirion gymorth dan bob croes;Flwyddyn arall, trwy dy ddawn,Cawsom beunydd “ffiol lawn,”Doniau fyrdd dy gariad drudSy’n addurno llwybrau’r byd.W. Williams (Glasifor)

Hollalluog Dduw, yr hwn sydd yn ffynhonnell pob dawn a doethineb, cynorthwya ni i gysegru pob gallu i’th wasanaeth di, ac i’w ddefnyddio er lles ein cyd-ddynion. Arwain ein meddyliau bob amser tuag at y gwir, y pur, a’r prydferth, fel y gwnelom yr hyn sydd dda yn dy olwg di; er mwyn Iesu Grist ein Harglwydd. Amen.
