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

\u201cAt certain times in our experience we are especially conscious of our strengths and, at other times, of our weaknesses. In our times of perceived strength, we are confident of our capacities and abilities. In our times of perceived weakness, it is often otherwise. We might easily imagine that it is in the former situation that God is especially close to us. However, the experience of faith and of the grace of God suggests otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Apostle Paul discovered this in the course of his own spiritual experience and came to realise the sufficiency of the grace of God in his life. This discovery is made in the times when he senses that he is at his weakest and not in his times of perceived strength. (2 Corinthians 12: 9) In the spiritual journey that each one of us makes, the sufficiency of God is often known when we come to the end of our own strength and discover the ever-renewed grace of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

God, whose grace is revealed,<\/em>
\nIn the One who embraces the Cross,<\/em>
\nMay we know the sufficiency of your grace<\/em>
\nIn the times of our deepest need.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God, whose grace is revealed,<\/em>
\nIn the One who embraces the Cross,<\/em>
\nMay we walk in the company of those who suffer<\/em>
\nAnd so share in the grace that you provide.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God, whose grace is revealed,<\/em>
\nIn the One who embraces the Cross,<\/em>
\nMay we experience the strength you provide<\/em>
\nIn the times of our greatest weakness.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God, whose grace is revealed,<\/em>
\nIn the One who embraces the Cross,<\/em>
\nMay our lives be renewed as we live out our response to your grace<\/em>
\nAnd so share in the community of grace.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God, whose grace is revealed,<\/em>
\nIn the One who embraces the Cross,<\/em>
\nMay your grace, sufficient in days past,<\/em>
\nBe sufficient in all the days that are to come.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gairm gu \u00f9rnaigh: Latha na S\u00e0baid, 20mh dhen \u00d2gmhios, \u00f9rnaigh aig 7f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aig amannan, tha sinn f\u00ecor mhothachail air meud ar spionnaidh; agus aig amannan eile, tha sinn nas mothaichaile air ar laigseannan. Aig amannan,tha sinn calma, l\u00e0n misneachd, agus aig amannan eile, tha sinn air ar l\u00econadh le teagamhan agus eagal. Ma dh\u2019fhaoidte gu bheil sinn a\u2019 smaoineachadh gu bheil sinn nas fhaisge air Dia ann an l\u00e0ithean neart ar misneachd, ach tha creideamh agus ar e\u00f2las air gr\u00e0s Dh\u00e8 gar teagasg nach eil sin uile gu l\u00e8ir f\u00ecor.<\/p>\n

Dh\u2019ionnsaich an t-Abstol P\u00f2l br\u00ecgh na f\u00ecrinne seo na bheatha spioradail fh\u00e8in. Chunnaic e cumhachd Dh\u00e8 ag obair an taobh a-staigh dheth nuair a bha e fh\u00e8in fann, agus thuirt an Tighearna ris: \u201cIs le\u00f2r mo ghr\u00e0s-sa dhut, oir tha mo chumhachd air a dh\u00e8aamh foirfe ann an laigse.\u201d (2 Corintianaich 12: 9). Ch\u00ec sinn air ar turas fh\u00e8in gu bheil sinn a\u2019 faicinn pailteas gr\u00e0s Dh\u00e8 nuair nach eil neart is spionnadh againn fh\u00e8in.<\/p>\n
