DMAS Cycle of Prayer
The Christian Church is a community of prayer and one
of the chief duties of each Christian is to pray for his or her brothers and
sisters in The Faith. Therefore, each
week during the Church Year, at each service held in each congregation of the
Diocese, we ask all to include those parishes, dioceses, and the associated
clergy listed in their prayers. The
clergy of the Diocese, who are all bound to say daily Morning and Evening
Prayer, are asked to include them in their daily prayers as well.

DIOCESAN PRAYER
ALMIGHTY God, who alone gavest us the breath of life, and alone
canst keep alive in us the holy desires thou dost impart; We beseech thee, for
thy compassion’s sake, to sanctify all our thoughts and endeavours; that we may
neither begin an action without a pure intention nor continue it without thy
blessing. And grant that, having the
eyes of the mind opened to behold things invisible and unseen, we may in heart
be inspired by thy wisdom, and in work be unheld by thy strength, and in the
end be accepted of thee as thy faithful servants; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(BCP Pg. 594)
