Prayers and readings used in
Westminster Abbey today
Lord our God, daily we
experience hate and war in our world. We pray for peace and healing among
nations, for a spirit of co-operation where conflicts embitter people, and for
reconciliation where enmity threatens life. This we pray through Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen.
ETERNAL Father, the darkness
is no darkness to you, and the night is as clear as the day. Accompany and
protect us as we enter the night; give us eyes that watch for the dawn and
hearts to learn again the lessons of love, that reconciled to one another and
to you we may walk through this world’s perils and sorrows as children of
light; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
from LITTLE GIDDING V by Thomas
Stearns Eliot (1888–1965)
WHAT we call the beginning
is often the end
And to make an end is to
make a beginning.
The end is where we start
from.
