We have all been asked to pray for everyone taking part in the Synod assembly in Rome this month.
Holy God,
You have made us all members of the body of Christ, the people of God,
and poured into our hearts the abundant gift of your Spirit.
Today, we pray earnestly for all gathered in Rome for the Synod:
may your grace go with them
and give to all the courage
to bring faith, hope and love in abundance
to meet the challenges before us.
We make our prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
