The Scottish Episcopal Church and 13 other denominations join together in prayer on Sunday at 7pm, as they have done throughout the coronavirus pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of those joining together in prayer, which appears in English and Gaelic below, will also light candles.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cJesus prays for those who follow him. It can be put no more simply or profoundly: Jesus prays for those who follow him. In the Gospel of John, we see that Jesus prays for those who have been his followers and disciples and he does so as he comes to the end of his earthly ministry. Jesus has given to his followers all that he has received from the Father and now he must leave them to live in the world as witnesses to the truth. In the light of this, Jesus prays for them and asks for their protection: \u2018And now I am no longer in the world\u2026Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.\u2019 (John 17: 6-19)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pray, in the light of the Ascension of our Lord and in anticipation of the gift of the Holy Spirit, with the assurance that as we do so; Jesus prays for us. As we come nearer, we trust, to the end of the restrictions that have characterised these past months, we pray in the knowledge that Jesus continues to pray for those who follow him in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

God and Father<\/em>
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nWe thank you for all that we have received from your hand.<\/em>
\nWe thank you for the life you have given to us<\/em>
\nAnd your presence with us in all we face.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father<\/em>
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nWe thank you for all that we have received from your Son.<\/em>
\nWe thank you that he has prayed for us<\/em>
\nAnd that he continues to uphold us in all we face.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father<\/em>
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nWe thank you that you watch over us and protect us.<\/em>
\nWatch over us as we continue the journey we have taken in past months<\/em>
\nAnd protect us in days to come.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father<\/em>
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nWe thank you that you watch over and protect this world.<\/em>
\nWatch over us as we give thanks for the gift of Creation<\/em>
\nAnd enable us to better care for the world you have entrusted to us.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father<\/em>
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nWe thank you that your Son is Risen and Ascended.<\/em>
\nWe join with the community of all your people<\/em>
\nAnd anticipate the outpouring of your Holy Spirit.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father<\/em>
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nWe thank you that your Risen and Ascended Son prays for us once more.<\/em>
\nWe join with all your people in every place <\/em>
\nAnd ask that you might renew us by your Holy Spirit.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gairm gu \u00f9rnaigh: Latha na S\u00e0baid, 16 dhen Ch\u00e8itean, \u00f9rnaigh aig 7f<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBidh \u00ccosa ag \u00f9rnaigh as leth a luchd-leantainn. \u2019S e f\u00ecrinn shimplidh agus dhomhain a th\u2019 ann: bidh \u00ccosa \u00f9rnaigh as leth a luchd-leantainn. Ann an Soisguel E\u00f2in, nuair a bha \u00ccosa a\u2019 tighinn gu ceann a mhinistrealachd air an talamh rinn e \u00f9rnaigh as leth a luchd-leantainn agus a dheisciobail gu l\u00e8ir. \u201cTha mi air na briathran a thug thusa dhomh a thoirt dhaibh,\u201d thuirt e, gan teagasg ann an slighean na f\u00ecrinne agus an t-solais. Agus mar sin dh\u2019iarr e air Athair an d\u00econadh: \u201cChan eil mise tuilleadh anns an t-saoghal\u2026 Athair naoimh, c\u00f9m iadsan nad ainm, a tha thu air a thoirt dh\u00f2mhsa, airson \u2019s gum faod iad a bhith nan aon mar a tha sinne.\u201d (E\u00f2in 17: 6 – 19)<\/p>\n

\u201cTha sinn ag \u00f9rnaigh, ann an solas Deasghabhail ar Tighearna, agus a\u2019 d\u00f9ileachadh an Spioraid Naoimh, leis a\u2019chinnteachd seo: gu bheil \u00ccosa ag \u00f9rnaigh air ar son. Fhad \u2019s a tha na cuingealachaidhean a tha air a bhith oirnn air an togail beag air bheag, tha sinn ag \u00f9rnaigh le cinnt gu bheil \u00ccosa ag eadar-ghuidhe as leth a luchd-leantainn.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u00e8anamaid \u00f9rnaigh:<\/p>\n
