Saint Etheldreda 1350
Saint Etheldreda 1350 marks the anniversary of the foundation by St Etheldreda of her monastery at Ely in 673.
The Bishop of East Anglia, Rt Rev. Peter Collins, will celebrate Mass in our church on St Etheldreda’s Feast Day,
Friday 23rd June, at 7.00 pm.
Bishop Peter will return to the City on Sunday, 25th June, for Festal Evensong and Procession in Ely Cathedral at 4.00 pm. I hope that many of us from our parish will welcome our Bishop as we celebrate our Patron Saint.
God of mercy,
We pray for the people of Türkiye and Syria
following the recent earthquakes.
We mourn the death and destruction.
and pray for those who have died and those who grieve.
Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.
We hold in our hearts those who are injured,
and those who have lost loved ones, livelihoods, and homes.
Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.
Sustain and guide all responding to this disaster.
Grant those affected courage and resilience,
as they rebuild their lives and communities.
Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.
Inspire us to unite in solidarity,
acting swiftly and generously,
so that help may reach all who need it.
Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.
Amen.
