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, will also light candles. The prayer is available below in both English and Gaelic.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cAs we journey from where we have been in past months to where we will be in times to come, we are beginning to recover some of the parts of our shared life that had been lost to us for a time. Within shared communal settings and within the community of God\u2019s people, one of the things that we are recovering is the experience of song and the bonding that the shared experience of singing brings to us. Within the community of God\u2019s people, we are gradually beginning to recover the shared expression of worship through the singing of \u2018psalms, hymns and spiritual songs\u2019. (Ephesians 5: 19)<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recovering that which had been lost, we rediscover a dimension of our shared experience that is integral to our worship of God. As the Spirit inspires us, we renew our thanksgiving \u2018to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ\u2019. As we do so, we share more fully in the life that God gifts to us through Christ and by the Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/p>\n

God our Father,<\/em>
\nAs we journey from where we have been<\/em>
\nTo where we will be,<\/em>
\nFill us with your Spirit<\/em>
\nThat we might truly worship you<\/em>
\nAnd praise your holy name.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God our Father,<\/em>
\nAs we journey from where we have been<\/em>
\nTo where we will be,<\/em>
\nInspire us within the community of God\u2019s people<\/em>
\nTo lift up our hearts<\/em>
\nAnd to renew our praise.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God our Father,<\/em>
\nAs we journey from where we have been<\/em>
\nTo where we will be,<\/em>
\nRenew us as we renew our praise<\/em>
\nWith Psalms and hymns<\/em>
\nAnd all the songs of God\u2019s people.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God our Father,<\/em>
\nAs we journey from where we have been<\/em>
\nTo where we will be,<\/em>
\nHelp us to recover that which has been lost<\/em>
\nAnd to rediscover all that unites us<\/em>
\nAs those who are made in your image.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

God our Father,<\/em>
\nAs we journey from where we have been<\/em>
\nTo where we will be,<\/em>
\nWe give thanks to you <\/em>
\nFor all your gifts to us<\/em>
\nThrough Christ and by your Spirit.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beag air bheag, tha sinn a\u2019 seinn c\u00f2mhla a-rithist, a\u2019 neartachadh an d\u00e0imh eadarainn agus a\u2019 moladh an Tighearna c\u00f2mhla ri ch\u00e8ile. Beag air bheag, tha sinn a\u2019 seinn a-chum cli\u00f9 an Tighearna a-rithist, ga mholadh \u201cann an sailm is laoidhean is \u00f2rain spioradail\u201d (Eph\u00e8sianaich 5: 19).<\/p>\n

Air ar brosnachadh leis an Spiorad, tha sinn a\u2019 toirt taing as \u00f9r \u201cdo Dhia an t-Athair, ann an ainm ar Tighearna Iosa Cr\u00ecosd\u201d (Eph\u00e8sianaich 5: 20). Agus le sin a dh\u00e8anamh, tha sinn a\u2019 com-p\u00e0irteachadh ann an tiodhlac na beatha, beatha na l\u00e0nachd, a tha Dia a\u2019 toirt dhuinn tro Chr\u00ecosd agus leis an Spiorad.<\/p>\n
