Cycle of Intercessions

EDITOR’S NOTES
Cycle of Prayer
Each day has been divided into two sections:
1. The Diocesan Cycle 2. The Anglican Cycle
Each Ministry Area has been allocated a particular week. The Ministry Area Leader, clergy, lay ministers and any schools within a Ministry Area are prayed for during that week. Where there is space, Provincial or Diocesan intentions are mentioned.
When it is the turn of your Ministry Area to be prayed for, please pray, that day, for the work of the Cathedral as your mother church.
This Cycle of Prayer is intended to be used together with the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle “With All God’s People”, published by the World Council of Churches also with the Porvoo Communion Invitation to Prayer which can be found on the Church in Wales website. However, they are not meant to be followed rigidly - in times of need appropriate prayers should be substituted.
Copies
An electronic copy of the Cycle of Prayer is available on the Diocesan Website. Further hard copies are ONLY available from both Diocesan Resource Centres.
Proofing

This booklet has been compiled in conjunction with
Liturgical
Each day is presented with the date, day and the Sunday Title or Saints/Feast Day
taken from The Church in Wales Lectionary produced by The Church in Wales/Yr
Eglwys yng Nghymru. If a minor saint’s day falls on a Sunday then it is not
observed, unless it is your Feast of Title or Dedication, in which case it may take
precedence over a Sunday in Ordinary Time. Otherwise it may be celebrated on the
next available feria day.
Liturgical colours are indicated for Sundays and major holy days, reflecting
widespread usage, but local custom may be followed if preferred.
This cycle of prayer should be used in conjunction with The Church in Wales
Lectionary, copies of which are available from Churches Together Bookshop, City
Church, Windsor Place, Cardiff, CF10 3BZ. Tel: 029 2022 7736

Father, we hold before you
our family in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon
and we open our hearts and minds to your Spirit:
Bless us as we gather in your name;
Guide us as we grow into the likeness of your Son;
Lead us by your Spirit to go out and make disciples of others.
God of our journeying, be our way and our truth and our life;
our beginning and our end.
We pray through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
