The work and witness of the Church in the diocese, in vale and valley, in city and suburb, in town and village, is part of the unceasing worship offered by the wider Church of Almighty God.In our diocese, the mother church, Llandaff Cathedral remembers the parishes, clergy, committees, specialist ministries and the people each day at the Eucharist. The diocese is asked to pray for the work of the

2

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 2019/ 2020 Year A, Weekdays Year 1I

The daily intentions of the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are included as is, at the request of Bishop June, the Porvoo Prayer Diary. These appear at the beginning of each week.

THE PORVOO DECLARATION commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses.

The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year.

Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week.

In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement.

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

3

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.

Seek the Lord while he may be found,call upon him while he is near;

let the wicked forsake their way,and the unrighteous their thoughts;

let them return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them,and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.For my thoughts are not your thoughts,nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55. Vss 6 - 9)

Dominus Illuminatio.The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27. v 1 Voyaging with Christ

The voyage is what counts …… not the destination.The game is more important to focus on than who wins.Easy to say but hard to practise.

4

Even worse following T S Elliot and R S Thomas: when you get to the end and find you are at the place you started, and know it for the first time!So life is just a circle, not linear?It’s true we cannot judge any movement in our relationship with

God,for our feelings are unreliable and swayed by many factors.That is why it is a journey of faith.But what we can affirm is that Christ accompanies – indeed leads us on –at every stage, every moment of our lives.It is our perception of his activity that needs to be constantly

revised.And it is only his grace, his power let loose in our lives that can do

that;but that grace is never forced upon us, yet flows into open hands and hearts and works miracles of love beyond our imagining.So the end that will be the new start is not our concern.It is the sun on the horizon and will rise when we will not be blinded by its sight.As Blake said : we are placed on earth to learn to bear the beams of God’s love.Not just to bear them, but also called to reflect them, so that others may join us on the one essential voyage to our eternal home.But we must not attempt to describe that home except in terms of

our relationship with God and all his saints.At our death, fullness of life is not taken away but leads us on to the next part of the journey.Hence our last prayer is a prayer of going forth in the presence ofthe Son and Holy Spirit and with our brothers and sisters who have gone before us.

5

As they have tried to live by faith, so now we live trusting in God’s eternal purpose, echoing the very words of Jesus: Into your hands I commend ……Full power ahead. Christ points the way, Peter and all saints help steer us into joyous waters.

Fr Colin Sutton

The Suffering of All Mankind

O God of love whose compassions fail not: we bring before thee he sufferings of all mankind; the necessities of the homeless; the sighing of prisoners; the pains of the sick and injured; the sorrows of the bereaved; the helplessness of the aged and weak. Comfort and relieve them, O Father, according to their several needs, and thy great mercy; for the sake of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

After St. Anselm

Racial Abuse

Racism is a gaping wound in the body of Christ.We are each of us made in God’s imageand to deny the humanity of anyone individualIs to strike at the wholeness of God’s creation.

Paul Boateng

Do all the good you can

6

To all the people you canIn all the ways you canAt all the times you can In all the places you canWith all the skill you can

For al long as ever you can.

For Family life

Father in heaven,we pray for the homes and family lifehelp us to care for each otherand to take the trouble bothto talk and to listen to each other.Help us not only to forgivr and forget,but also to be willing to apologiseand to receive forgiveness.We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.

Amen

Dros fywyd teulol

Dad nefol,gweddiwn dros gartrefi a bywyd teuluolhelpa ni i ofalu an ein gilyddac i fod yn fodlon siarad â’n gilydda gwrando ar ein gilydd.helpa ni nid yn unig i faddau ac anghofio,ond hefyd i fod yn fodlion ymddiheuro a ,derbyn maddeuant.Gweddiwn yn enw Iesu, Grist, ein Gwaredwr. AmenFor those whose family life is difficult

7

Father we pray for all unhappy families;give healing where children or parents ar ill or in hospital;strengthen mothers and fatherswho cannot provide for their chidren;give comfort where parents are separatedor children have run away or in trouble;be with all who are alone or lonely;we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen

Dros y rhai y mae eu bywyd yn anodd

Dad gweddiwn dros bob teulu anhapaus;Dyro iachâd lle mae plant neu rieni yn sâlneu yn yr ysbyty;nertha dadau a mamausydd ddim yn medru darparu ar gyfer eu plant;dyro gysur lle mae rhieni wedi ymwahanuneu lle mae plant wedi ehedeg i ffwrdd neumewn helynt;bydd gyda phawb sydd ar eu pen eu hunain neu yn unig;gofynnwn hyn yn enw Iesu. Amen

For the Church

Almighty God,We pray for the family of the Church;that all Chrisians may work together in harmonyfor the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,and the building up of your peace. Amen

Dros yr Eglwys

Dduw hollalluog,

8

gweddiwn dros deulu’r Eglwys;am i bob Chrition gydweithio mewn cyfgordi ledaenu Efebgyl Iesu Gristac i adeiladu dy dangnefedd di. Amen

We are a pilgrim people and our destiny is heaven.As we travel towards the light of Christ,

may we encourage one anotherthrough life’s rough seas and stone filled paths.

Dearest Jesus, teach me to be generous,Teach me to serve you as you deserve:

To give and not to count the cost,To fight and not to heed the wounds,

That I will do your will.To labour and not to ask for any reward

Save that of nowing.

Lord Jesus think on me, and purge away my sins;From earthborn passions set me free and make me pure within.

(Lenten Hymn)

From Fr. Colin Sutton the Diocesan Promoter of Retreats:

LLANGASTY RETREAT HOUSE is a Christian centre, and a place for individuals and groups to develop their spirituality by means of retreats, conferences and study groups.

A place of Christian Worship and Prayer, set in surroundings of peace, beauty and tranquility, with wildlife in abundance that never fails to catch the retreatants attention. Llangasty Retreat House has been used as a place of retreat by Church groups, The Mothers Union and study groups to name but a few, for over 50 years.

Llangasty Retreat House is used by Christian organizations such as, Creative Arts Retreat Movement with their Painting and Prayer retreats and the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer. Llangasty Retreat House is also an ideal place for the individual to get away from the stresses and strains of modern day life, the views from the lounge window entice you to sit, relax and marvel at God's creation.
