Prayer for the Mission of the Church (BCP page 838)
Almighty God, you sent your Son Jesus Christ to reconcile the world to yourself: We praise and bless you for those whom you have sent in the power of the Spirit to preach the Gospel to all nations. We thank you that in all parts of the earth a community of love has been gathered together by their prayers and labors, and that in every place your servants call upon your Name; for the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours for ever. Amen.
Almighty God, we thank You for the work of Fr. Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia Mudge. We praise and bless You for filling them with Your Holy Spirit so that they have been enabled to do a mighty work for You in Lima, Peru. Be with them now as they vacation in the U.S. Be with them especially as their daughter, Hannah, is ordained to the transitional diaconate. Bless Hannah and her friend Christine and all the others who will be ordained at the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit so that they as well may do a mighty work for You. We also pray for the Diocesan Convention and ask for special blessings on the Mudges as they prepare for their roles in this wonderful yearly convocation of your faithful people in the Diocese of Albany. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
