Let us remember St David on this day who was a renowned preacher founding monastic settlements and churches in Wales. Let’s use today to pray for religious brothers and sisters in monasteries and within communities as they share your good news.

Father help us to serve others as you did; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; guide us and show us how Lord, in this chaotic turbulent world.

From Heaven you came a helpless baby entering this world your glory veiled.  To serve and give your life for us. We give you thanks Lord our Servant King, help us to hear your call to live for you even day.  (Graham Kendrick)

Father we give thanks for the sharing of so many things during this pandemic. Music, theatre, television, group chats on digital platforms, community support & help and Lord for your unfailing love and faithfulness to each of us and our needs.

Father thank you for the signs of spring appearing. The snowdrops, aconites and crocuses in their showy dresses. The lengthening of daylight, despite whatever the weather throws at us we give you thanks.

Hope rises as we continue in the pandemic. Hope for a better future; hope for more person-centred caring; hope for more care for our planet; hope for a more equal and just society in UK and throughout the world. Lord we have some hope we pray for your hope in this world.

Lord at times it is difficult with these restrictions, and for some, isolation: may we KNOW that you are our constant companion and friend. Thank you that we can talk to you at any time or place.

Father as we draw nearer to you day by day help us to discover who we really are and our place in Your family.

Pray for all who are persecuted for their faith, that their faith may draw them deeper into you Lord.

Father help us to be drawn to what is good and holy, the first to show mercy and put things right. Walk with us Lord when we have to pay the price that peace -making inevitably involves. Pray for all involved in peace-making in our broken world.
