EU reconciliation prayer released ahead of Sunday services
by Alex Williams, Premier:
Churches across the UK wanting to pray for the aftermath of the UK’s EU referendum are being invited to use a prayer issued by the Church of England.
The prayer of reconciliation – released before churches across the country hold services on Sunday morning – reads: “Eternal God, Light of the nations, in Christ you make all things new.
“Guide our nation in the coming days through the inspiration of your Spirit, that understanding may put an end to discord and all bitterness.
“Give us grace to rebuild bonds of trust that together we may work for the dignity and flourishing of all; through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The prayer is accompanied by a litany following the same theme, which includes the statement “Guide our nation in the days and months ahead to walk the paths of peace and reconciliation. Hear us, Lord of life,” where congregation members answer “Lord, graciously hear us.”
