Lord, you have taught us

that all our doings without love are nothing worth:

send your Holy Spirit

and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift

of love,

the true bond of peace and of all virtues,
without which whoever lives is counted dead

before you.

Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

A Prayer for our nation for the coming weeks
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. Amen.

I am putting this Pews news together on the

anniversary of D Day.
You, like me probably watched
the commemorations held in Normandy last evening
and the mind-blowing sight of over 4000 British war
graves individually lit, loving and respectfully tended

over all these years.

There is nothing to add other than prayers for lives
lost and the state of the world 80 years on.
God our refuge and strength,
as we remember those
who faced danger and death in Normandy.

eighty years ago,

grant us courage to pursue what is right,
the will to work with others,

and strength to overcome tyranny and oppression,

through Jesus Christ,
to whom belong dominion and glory
now and for ever. Amen.
Lord of all nations,
We honour the bravery and sacrifice
of those who served.
Grant us similar courage to recognise
and restrain evil in our own day
and may those who lead the nations of the world
work together to defend human liberty,
that we may live peaceably one with another.
This we ask in the name of the Prince of Peace,
our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
