Morning Prayer for the Diocese

Today and tomorrow, the clergy of my new diocese are gathering for two days.  

From the Prayer Book, a prayer for the diocese:

O God, by your grace you have called us in this Diocese to a

goodly fellowship of faith. Bless our Bishop Holly,

and other clergy, and all our people. Grant that your Word

may be truly preached and truly heard, your Sacraments

faithfully administered and faithfully received. By your

Spirit, fashion our lives according to the example of your

Son, and grant that we may show the power of your love to

all among whom we live; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
