Prayers for Ordinations

Please pray for all those to be ordained, and especially those to be ordained in the Diocese of Leicester this Petertide.

God our Father, Lord of all the world,
through your Son you have called us

into the fellowship of your universal Church:

hear our prayer for all your faithful people

that in their vocation and ministry

each may be an instrument of your love,
and give to your servants soon to be ordained

the needful gifts of grace;

through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

Pray also for their families, friends and all those who will support them.

Pray for the communities where they will serve their curacy, for their training incumbents and context supervisors.

Pray too for Bishop Martyn who will preside at the ordinations, for Bishop Saju who will preach and for Dr Cathy Ross (Canon Theologian) who will lead the ordination retreat at Launde Abbey.

Pray too for more vocations to all kinds of ministry as we are Shaped By God Together.
