PRAYER: Bishop Williams Temple (1881 to 1944) {Archbishop of York 1929 -42 & Archbishop of Canterbury 1942 to 1944} writing in ’Christian Faith and Life’Wrote:

3

Prayer is speaking to God; so the first necessity is that you should be directing your minds towards God. That is the best part and the most important part of prayer anyhow, and without it all the rest is useless …..Our Lord says that when you come into the presence of God you should forget all about yourself and your needs, even your sins; you should be so filled with the thought of God that what you want above all things is that God’s Name may be hallowed – reverenced – throughout the world. You are to ask for that first, because you ought to want it most. And next, that He may be effectively King of the world He has made, so that all men obey His law; and then that His whole purpose of love shall be carried out unspoiled by the selfishness of men.

Salm y Gair – gan W Rhys Nicholas

Fel y treiddia’r goleuni i fro’r cysgodionFelly y daw llewyrch y Gair i galon dyn.Fel ffynnon yn byrlymu’n loywWrth anfon y dyfroedd i rigolau’r sychder,Felly y gweithreda’r Gair.

Ogonoeddus Grist yr Arglwydd: y dylanwad dwyfol a wasgarwyd yn gyfriniol trwy ddyfnderau mater, a’r canol llachar lle mae holl edafedd yr amrywiaeth yn cydgyfarfod; nerth mor gadarn â’r byd ac mor gynnes â bywyd; Ti, y mae dy dalcen cyn wyned â’r eiria, a’th lygaid fel tân, a’th draed yn ddisgleiriach na’r aur toddedig; Ti, y mae dy ddwylo yn carcharu’r sêr; Ti, y cyntaf a’r diwethaf, y byw a’r marw, a’r byw drachefn; Ti sy’n casglu i’th undod afieithus bob dull o fodolaeth; amdanat Ti y mae fy mod yn llefain allan gyda dymuniad mor llydan â’r greadigaeth. Yn wir, ‘Ti yw fy Arglwydd a’m Duw. Amen.

Glorious Lord Christ: the divine influence secretly diffused and active in the depths of matter, and the dazzling centre where all the innumerable fibres of the manifold meet; power as implacable as the world and as warm a life; you whose forehead is of the whiteness of snow, whose eyes

4

are fire, and whose are brighter than molten gold; you whose hands imprison the stars; you who are the first and the las, the living and the dead and the risen again; you who gather into your exuberant unity every beauty, every affinity, every energy, every mode of existence; it is you to whom my being cried out with the desire as vast as the universe, ‘In truth you are my Lord and my God’. Amen.

S.J. Teilhard de Chardin (1881 -1955)

Cyflwynwn ger dy fron, Arglwydd,drafferthion a pheryglon pobloedd a chenhedloedd;ocheneidiau carcharorion,tristwch y galarwyr,anghenion y dieithriaid,dibyniaeth y blinedig,gwendid yr oedrannus. Arglwydd, tyrd yn agos at bob unyn enw Iesu Grist. Amen.

We bring before you, Lord,The troubles and dangers of peoples and nations;

The sighing of prisoners,The sorrows of the bereaved,The necessities of strangers,

The dependency of the weary,The failing powers of the aged.

Lord, draw near to eachfor the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Augustine of Hippo (354-350)

Dduw ein pererindod,ewyllysiaist fod i borth trugaredd

aros yn agored i’r rhai sy’n ymddiried ynot:edrych arnom â’th ffafr

fel na fo i ni sy’n dilyn llwybr dy ewyllysgrwydro byth oddi ar ffordd y bywyd;

trwy Iesu Grist ein Harglwydd. Amen.

God of our pilgrimage,you have willed that the gate of mercy

should stand open for those who trust in you:look upon us with your favour

that we who follow the path of your willmay never wander from the way of life;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.Church in Wales – Collects

What does love look like?

It has the hands to help others,It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needyIt has the eyes to see misert and want.It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.That is what love looks like. St. Augustine of Hippo

Sut beth yw cariad?

6

Mae ganddo ddwylo i helpu eraill.Mae ganddo draed i frysio at y tiawd a’r anghenus.Mae ganddo lygaid i weld trueni ac eisiau.Mae ganddo glustiau i glywed ocheneidiau a galar pobl.Dyna sut beth yw cariad. Sant Awstin a Hippo

From a Mothers’ Union day on the Magnificat, Durham 1989.

Come humbly, Holy Child, stir in thhe womb of our complacency;Shepherd our vision of the little we need for abundant living.Come humbly, Holy Spirit, to whisper through the leaves in the garden of our ignorance,exposing our blindness to children dying, hungry and in pain,Come humbly, Holy Light, pierce our lack of generosity and love, scattering our dark fear of living freely in your way, poured out in wanton service.Come humbly Holy Wisdom, cry through the empty streets of our pretence to care, that the face of the poor will be lifted up, for Holy is your name.Come humbly, Holy God, be born into our rejoicing, come quickly,Humble God, and reign.

In your Daily prayers please continue to give thanks for the work and witness of Bishop June in her role as Bishop of Llandaff and for all Bishops in the Church in Wales in these trying and worrying times of uncertainty.

JANUARY 2020Jesus Is Named After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the

7

angel before he was conceived in the womb. Luke 2 v21

Eternal Father, you have given your Son Jesus the Name above every name, by which alone we may be saved. Help us, rejoicing in his Name, to make it known in all the world, through him who came to be our Saviour. Amen

O Eternal Lord God, who inhabits eternity, and has brought we your servants to the beginning of another

year, pardon, we beseech you, our past sins; we beg you to stay with us all the days of our life; guide us in your ways, and guard us from evil in the years to come, that

we may come to our sojourn in this world with joy and at last become partakers of the inheritance of your saints in light; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

NAMING OF JESUS

O Almighty God, who gave Your Son Jesus Christ the name which is above all names, and has taught us that there is none other by which we may be saved: mercifully grant that as your faithful people have comfort and peace in His name, so we may ever work to proclaim it to all nations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, and heavenly Father, who has given to us Your people the true bread that comes down from heaven, even Your Son Jesus Christ: grant that through this Lent our souls may be so fed by Him that we may continually live in Him and He in us; and that day by day we may be renewed in spirit by the power of His endless life, Who gave Himself for us, and now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Season of Prayer and Repentance. Anglican Cycle of Prayer

Today, the fifth Sunday in Lent, is the focus of the Primates’ Task Group’s call for a period of prayer and repentance in the AnglicanCommunion. The Bishop of West Malaysia, Moon Hing, is a member of the Task Group and has written this prayer, which the TaskGroup offers to the Anglican Communion for use today.

Almighty God,Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Sovereign Lord of the universe, Creator of humankind,we, your unfaithful children, are truly sorry for our sins and the lives that we have lived.We sincerely believe and confess in our hearts that only through the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary,can we obtain Your forgiveness.We repent that:In thought, word or deed, we have committed serious offences against You and our neighbours;In laziness, despair and lust for power, we have provoked hatred, division and hurt within our communities;In greed, deceit and indifference, we have caused serious damage, unnecessary conflict and aggravated destruction to ourrefugee and migrant brothers and sisters;In selfishness, insensitivity and bias, we have encouraged and emboldened those who inflict hurt, pain and sorrow on ourloved ones and families;

In the name of religion, doctrine and even of Christ himself, we 48

have wounded believers and pursuers of holiness and faith;In stubbornness, pride and arrogance, we have caused division and strife within Your church and among Your children;Mercifully send Your Holy Spirit – the Spirit of order and comfort – and cleanse us from all unrighteousness; restore in us true faith inChrist which brings truth, peace and harmony; and help us to walk together with our brothers and sisters in the peace of our Lord JesusChrist to the to the glory of Your name. Amen
