Prayers for all seasons
If you are joyful:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him, all creatures here below,
Praise him above, angelic host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
(Thomas Ken)
If you are
troubled:
Lord, we pray;
And in your great mercy defend us
From all perils and dangers of this night;
For the love of your only Son,
Our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
(Common
Worship)
If you need to pray for a friend
God, whose mercy and compassion never fail, look kindly upon the sufferings of all mankind: the needs of the homeless; the anxieties of prisoners, the pains of the sick and injured; the sorrows of the bereaved; the helplessness of the aged and weak. Comfort and strengthen them for the sake of your son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
(St. Anselm)
May the divine assistance be with
us always and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace and rise in glory.
Amen.
