So Jesus spoke to them again: ‘I tell you most solemnly, I am the gate of the sheepfold. All others who have come are thieves and brigands; but the sheep took no notice of them. I am the gate. Anyone who enters through me will be safe: he will go freely in and out and be sure of finding pasture. (John 10:1-10)
We pray for all who care for the sick and dying, the elderly and the vulnerable … may they be encouraged and sustained by your love and the prayer of our communities.
We pray for those who are grieving at this time and for all who suffer from anxiety and depression as a result of our current crisis … may they know the tender embrace of our loving Shepherd who will lead us all into green pastures.
We pray for ourselves and our loved ones as we live another period of rigorous lockdown … that despite the days when we struggle to believe it will ever end we may be blessed with the gifts of joy, hope and love.
