thy kingdom Come
Light up the World in Prayer
Jesus Christ is the light of the world and we are called to be the light of the world as we bear His image.
On the Thy Kingdom Come website there is a map of the world, where you can add your commitment to pray. As each of us does this a light populates the map. Will you play your part, as we pray for the light of Christ to penetrate the darkness across the globe?
There are many other ways that you can get involved with this global prayer movement, find out more on the Thy Kingdom Come in Lockdown page.
For our closing prayer this Sunday
Come Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth.
Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful.
In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
