PET SERVICE

TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Month of St Francis

Lord Jesus Christ,

you have taught us that without love

whatever we do is worthless:

pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love

without which whoever lives

is counted dead before you;

for you live and reign with the Father

and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

THE PRAYERS OF THE CHURCH

PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH

We pray for The Church in Wales The Most Revd John Davies Archbishop of Wales and Bishop of Swansea and Brecon. We pray for Steve our Bishop and our Diocese; for Thabo our Metropolitan and the Anglican Church of Southern Africa; for Justin of Canterbury and the Anglican Communion.

PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

We pray that we would be alive to the wonder of creation especially when we consider this week the animals with whom many of us share our space. We bring before you all those who work for the preservation, care and recuperation of animals. Bless their work and honour their commitment. We also pray for those preparing for exams at this time: we pray for calm, focus and the wise use of time.

THE WORK OF THE CHURCH

MONTH OF ST FRANCIS

“Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible,” said St Francis. He had a gift for understanding that it is in action, in conscious doing, that we really live out the love of God in the world. Francis believed that above all else each day offered an opportunity to be present to the call of God on our time, resources and how we live in community. We are the embodiment of God's work, possibility and image in the world. Francis also understood that the world was God's gift to us shared through creation with great particularity and joy. Let's be especially open to all this might mean for us this October!
