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

“What is the future shape of the society in which we live? To ask the question is to invite any number of different answers and many of the answers will reflect the uncertainty of the times. In all of our lives, there is perhaps a greater element of uncertainty than there has been in previous years. Each of us will respond to the challenges of our times in different ways and many will ponder the question and ask: What does the future hold?<\/p>\n

“The Apostle Paul lived within the society of his time and offers us a vision of our place within the world. That vision is shaped by an understanding of how we share in the purpose and plan of the \u2018God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ\u2019. We share in that understanding as those who have received the \u2018promised Holy Spirit\u2019. Within this vision, we find that we are adopted as the children of God and discover our place according to the purpose and plan of God. (Ephesians 1: 3-14) If we cannot yet describe the future shape of our society, we know that, whatever the future holds, we live as those whose destiny is shaped by the purpose and plan of God.”<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nYou adopt us as your children<\/em>
\nAnd include us within your purposes.<\/em>
\nMay we find our place in the world and purpose for our lives<\/em>
\nAs we respond to your gracious initiative in Christ.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nYou adopt us as your children<\/em>
\nAnd offer to us forgiveness.<\/em>
\nMay we know the healing power of forgiveness<\/em>
\nAnd offer forgiveness according to the measure that we have been forgiven.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nYou adopt us as your children<\/em>
\nAnd make known your intention<\/em>
\nTo gather together all things in heaven and earth.<\/em>
\nMay our lives on earth reflect the life of the world that is to come. <\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nYou adopt us as your children<\/em>
\nAnd make known to us the word of truth.<\/em>
\nMay we always speak according to the truth<\/em>
\nAnd may our words reflect the One who came to us full of grace and truth.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/em>
\nYou adopt us as your children<\/em>
\nAnd seal us with the promised Holy Spirit<\/em>
\nMay we rediscover our place in the world and renew the purpose of our lives<\/em>
\nAs we receive the gracious gift of your Spirit.<\/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

“D\u00e8 mar a bhios an t-\u00e0m ri teachd? Bidh iomadh freagairt againn don cheist seo, agus bidh grunn math dhiubh a\u2019 sealltainn ceart cho m\u00ec-chinnteach \u2019s a tha iomadh rud anns an latha a th\u2019 ann. Bidh gach aon againn a\u2019 freagairt ceistean ar latha ann an diofar d\u00f2ighean, agus bidh iomadh neach a\u2019 me\u00f2rachadh air a\u2019 cheist: d\u00e8 mar a bhios a an t-\u00e0m ri teachd?<\/p>\n

“Tha an t-Abstol P\u00f2l a\u2019 toirt dhuinn sealladh air ar n-\u00e0ite anns an t-saoghal. Tha an sealladh seo air a dhealbhadh le tuigse air ar com-p\u00e0irteachadh ann an r\u00f9intean Dh\u00e8 agus Athair ar Tighearna \u00ccosa Cr\u00ecosd. Is ann mar dhaoine a chaidh ar \u201cseuladh le Spiorad Naomh a\u2019 gheallaidh\u201d a tha sinn a\u2019 com-p\u00e0irteachadh anns an tuigse seo. Leis an tuigse seo, ch\u00ec sinn gun do \u2018ro-\u00f2rdaich e sinne gu uchd-mhacachd tro \u00ccosa Cr\u00ecosd dha fh\u00e8in, a r\u00e8ir deagh thoil a r\u00f9in\u2019 agus mar sin, tha sinn a\u2019 lorg ar n-\u00e0ite ann am plana agus r\u00f9intean Dh\u00e8. (Eph\u00e8sianaich 1: – 14). Ged nach eil sinn e\u00f2lach air d\u00e8 mar a bhios an t-\u00e0m ri teachd, tha fios againn gu bheil c\u00f9rsa ar beathannan air an dealbhadh le l\u00e0mh Dh\u00e8, ge b\u2019 e na thachras.”<\/p>\n
