The Scottish Episcopal Church and 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 below in English and Gaelic, will also light candles.<\/p>\n

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

\u201c\u2018Are we there yet?\u2019 We can easily picture a small child enquiring plaintively from the back of the car as to whether, or not, the destination has been reached. Indeed, even as we mature, we can all readily identify with the sentiment as we enquire as to whether, or not, our desired destination has been reached. Over the past months, we might perhaps have been tempted to succumb to the frustration of a journey\u2019s end delayed and to rather lose heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one who had journeyed and who continued to journey, the Apostle Paul was not unfamiliar with the challenges of doing so. In response to those whom he sensed were ready to succumb to frustration, Paul affirms the basis on which we should continue to journey and concludes: \u2018Therefore we do not lose heart.\u2019 What is that basis? It is the assurance that the One who \u2018raised the Lord Jesus from the dead\u2019 will also raise us with him and bring us into God\u2019s presence. We share in the life of the risen Lord Jesus and the challenges we face on the journey are to be set in the light of this. We might not be there yet but, as we share in the life of the risen Lord Jesus, we are those who \u2018do not lose heart\u2019. (2 Corinthians 4: 13-5: 1)\u201d<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nWho raised the Lord Jesus from the dead,<\/em>
\nBe with us on the journey before us.<\/em>
\nBe with us when the path is smooth<\/em>
\nAnd the horizon is clear.<\/em>
\nLead us on to the place of your presence.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nWho raised the Lord Jesus from the dead,<\/em>
\nBe with us on the journey before us.<\/em>
\nBe with us when the path is broken<\/em>
\nAnd the way obscured.<\/em>
\nStill lead us on to the place of your presence.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nWho raised the Lord Jesus from the dead,<\/em>
\nBe with us on the journey before us.<\/em>
\nBe with us as we face the challenges seen<\/em>
\nAnd those as yet unseen.<\/em>
\nIn all we face, may your abiding presence remain. <\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nWho raised the Lord Jesus from the dead,<\/em>
\nBe with us on the journey.<\/em>
\nBe with those who grow frustrated<\/em>
\nAnd who feel disheartened.<\/em>
\nRenew us that we may discover your presence once more.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nWho raised the Lord Jesus from the dead,<\/em>
\nBe with us on the journey.<\/em>
\nBe with us that we might share<\/em>
\nIn the life of the Risen Lord<\/em>
\nAnd the life everlasting in your presence.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gairm gu \u00f9rnaigh: Latha na S\u00e0baid, 6mh dhen \u00d2gmhios, \u00f9rnaigh aig 7f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tha sinn uile e\u00f2lach air ceist ainmeil na cloinne, \u201cAn do r\u00e0inig sinn fhathast?\u201d Fi\u00f9 \u2019s agus sinn nar n-inbhich tha sinn gu math tric air ar s\u00e0rachadh leis an fhaireachdainn, mi-chinnteach mun cheist sin: an do r\u00e0inig sinn an t-\u00e0ite far a bheil sinn a\u2019 dol? A bheil sinn fi\u00f9 \u2019s faisg air? Ma dh\u2019 fhaoidte gu bheil sinn a\u2019 call ar misneachd gu \u00ecre, gun fhios againn cuin a bhios sinn a\u2019 ruigsinn ceann an t-slighe seo.<\/p>\n

Bha an t-Abstol P\u00f2l l\u00e0n e\u00f2lach air siubhal, agus bha e e\u00f2lach air na dubhlannan a thig na l\u00f9ib. Mar sin bha comhairle aige dhan fheadhainn a bha a\u2019 call am misneachd air an t-slighe, a\u2019 dearbhadh grunn ar creideimh, grunn ar siubhail, agus ag r\u00e0dh: \u201cMar sin, chan eil sinn a\u2019 call misneachd, ach ged a tha an duine a th\u2019 air an taobh a-muigh a\u2019 cr\u00econadh, tha ar n\u00e0dar a th\u2019 air an taobh a-staigh ga ath-nuadhachadh latha \u2019n d\u00e8idh latha,\u201d oir tha fhios againn \u201cgun tog an t-Aon a thog suas an Tighearna \u00ccosa sinne suas cuideachd, le \u00ccosa, agus gun nochd e sinn na l\u00e0thair-san leibhse.\u201d Ma dh\u2019fhaoidte nach eil sinn air ceann an t-slighe a ruigsinn, ach fhad \u2019s a tha sinn a\u2019 com-p\u00e0irteachadh ann am beatha an Tighearna \u00ccosa, cha chall sinn ar misneachd. (2 Corintianaich 4: 13 – 5: 1)<\/p>\n
