I have been looking for a service of Compline or night prayer specifically for the Octave of prayer, during this Christian Unity week, but have failed to get something that I feel is good. So let us this evening, pray for our brothers and sisters in other denominations, for their clergy and leaders and for a closer walk with them in faith, unity and compassion. For a deeper sharing and an acknowledgement of our similarities and also our differences and offer all of this to God as we pray.
Tonight's Compline is a sung one and although a good few years old is quite lovely and deeply spiritual. It comes from Guildford Cathedral.
We share in today's prayer for 2021 Octave of Christian Unity.
God our Father,
you reveal to us your love through Christ
and through our brothers and sisters.
Open our hearts so that we can welcome each other
with our differences and live in forgiveness.
Grant us to live united in one body,
so that the gift that is each person comes to light.
May all of us together be a reflection of the living Christ.
Wishing you all a peaceful and good night.
Very beautiful thank you Rhian may I use part of this in my prayers on Friday 🙏
