A prayer for faithfulness to God

Let us be yours, O God. Let us not draw back from you, neither from your presence, nor from your cross. Touch our hearts and make them holy. Consecrate our lives and enlist them in your service. Amen.

Lucy Herbert (1669–1744)

A prayer that we be emptied and filled with love of God

Precious Jesus,
in you we have found the treasure the world discounts.
Rather than seek cheap substitutes
in the world’s bargain basements,
may your enticing beauty lead us to great sacrifices
so that, having nothing, we may possess everything
as we are embraced by you. Amen.

Andrew Lunn, District Chair, Manchester and Stockport District
