The Scottish Episcopal Church and 13 other denominations join together in prayer at 7pm on Sunday, 14 March, as they have done on Sundays throughout the year of the coronavirus pandemic. Many of those joining together in prayer, which appears in English and Gaelic below, will also light candles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a joint message, church leaders in Scotland said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have endured much during these past months. Personally and communally, we have endured challenges which we could not have anticipated, or imagined, even a year ago. We have endured much and undoubtedly there have been times when the limits of our endurance have been tested.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoven into this has been the recollection of that which has also endured, the steadfast love of God. The Psalmist recalls the people of God to a remembrance of the \u2018steadfast love\u2019 of the Lord which \u2018endures for ever\u2019. (Psalm 107: 1) As we remember and recall, we bear witness to the truth that the love of God spans the whole breadth of our lives and embraces all that we experience and endure. This is given supreme expression in the self-giving of God in Jesus Christ: \u2018For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son\u2019. (John 3: 16)<\/p>\n

\u201cIn all we have endured and will endure, the \u2018steadfast love\u2019 of the Lord \u2018endures for ever\u2019 in the God whose love is revealed in Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

God whose love endures<\/em>
\nAnd is revealed in Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nMay we hear the words of the Psalmist<\/em>
\nWho calls us to remember:<\/em>
\nThe steadfast love of the Lord endures for ever.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God whose love endures<\/em>
\nAnd is revealed in Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nBe with us in all we endure at this time.<\/em>
\nGrant that we may know your love<\/em>
\nIn days of light and in days of shadow.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God whose love endures<\/em>
\nAnd is revealed in Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nBe with all who find themselves<\/em>
\nAt the limit of their endurance<\/em>
\nAnd embrace them in the depths of your enduring love.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God whose love endures<\/em>
\nAnd is revealed in Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nAs a mother comforts her child<\/em>
\nMay you comfort all who call upon you.<\/em>
\nHear us, as we give thanks for all who have nurtured us in this life.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God whose love endures<\/em>
\nAnd is revealed in Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nGrant to us a vision of a community and society<\/em>
\nThat will endure in times to come<\/em>
\nAnd hear us as we pray: Thy Kingdom Come.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God whose love endures<\/em>
\nAnd is revealed in Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nMay we live our lives<\/em>
\nIn response to the gift of the life of your Son<\/em>
\nIn whose life is love embodied.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gairm gu \u00f9rnaigh: Latha na S\u00e0baid, 14mh dhen Mh\u00e0rt, \u00f9rnaigh aig 7f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is iomadh rud a ghi\u00f9lain sinn thairis air a\u2019 bhliadhna seo chaidh. Tha gach aon againn, agus gach coimhearsnachd, air rudan a ghi\u00f9lain ris nach robh gin againn idir an d\u00f9il aig t\u00f2iseach na bliadhna an-uiridh. Gun teagamh, aig amannan, bha eallach oirnn cha mh\u00f2r ro throm ri ghi\u00f9lain.<\/p>\n

Am broinn na bliadhna, ged-t\u00e0, tha cuimhneachan geallaidhean Dh\u00e8, geallaidhean a ghr\u00e0idh a tha cho daingeann anns gach c\u00e0s. Tha an Salmadair gar earalachadh gus moladh a sheinn dhan Tighearna:<\/p>\n

O thugaibh moladh m\u00f2r do Dhia,<\/em>
\nis buidheachas faraon,<\/em>
\nOir tha e math, \u2019s mairidh gu br\u00e0th<\/em>
\na thr\u00f2cair ghr\u00e0smhor chaoin.<\/em>
\n(Salm 107: 1)<\/em><\/p>\n

Fhad \u2019s a chuimhneachas sinn na thachair anns a\u2019 bhliadhna seo chaidh, bidh sinn a\u2019 togail fianais dhan t-saoghal gu bheil gr\u00e0dh Dh\u00e8 gar cuairteachadh agus gar l\u00econadh anns gach teanntachd agus cruaidh-c\u00e0s. Tha an fh\u00ecrinn seo air a cur an c\u00e8ill ann am f\u00e8in-\u00ecobairt Dh\u00e8 ann an \u00ccosa Cr\u00ecosd: Oir is ann mar seo a ghr\u00e0dhaich Dia an saoghal: gun tug e aonghin Mhic fh\u00e8in. (E\u00f2in 3: 16)<\/p>\n

A dh\u2019aindeoin gach rud a ghi\u00f9lain sinn agus a ghi\u00f9laineas sinn fhathast, \u201cmairidh gu br\u00e0th a thr\u00f2cair ghr\u00e0smhor chaoin\u201d anns an Dia a dh\u2019fhoillsich a ghr\u00e0dh ann an \u00ccosa Cr\u00ecosd.<\/p>\n
