I was told once that this, quoted from the Alternative Service for Communion is one of the nation’s favourite prayers: Father of all, we give you thanks and praise, that when we were still far off you met us in your Son and brought us home. Dying and living, he declared your love, gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory. May we who share Christ's body live his risen life; we who drink his cup bring life to others; we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world. Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us, so we and all your children shall be free, and the whole earth live to praise your name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Framingham Prayer

Suggested by Victoria Lord, You say Your word is truth, therefore I choose to believe what You say. You say to trust Your love whatever my circumstances, and do not fear. So, Lord, I choose to do that today.

My Song is love Unknown

The first verse of a hymn that Rowena uses as a prayer. My song is love unknown, My saviour's love to me, Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be. O who am I, That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die?

Heidi & Mark’s Favourite, read at their wedding: The Prayer of St Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy; O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
