Prayer diary

Together, we unite in prayer.
This diary has been compiled to guide us in praying for everyone right across our diocese, uniting us in fellowship.
How do we compile the Prayer Diary?
Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a quarter, following this weekly pattern:
• Eastern Archdeaconry: Monday, Saturday
• Archdeaconry of France: Tuesday, Saturday
• Archdeaconry of Gibraltar: Wednesday, Saturday
• Italy & Malta Archdeaconry: Friday
• Archdeaconry of North West Europe: Thursday
• Swiss Archdeaconry: Friday
• Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe
• Nordic and Baltic Deanery: Monday
• Germany: Saturday
On Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect us all (e.g. reconciliation on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral(s)). This will include Diocesan Staff, Churches in Communion and Ecumenical Partners. Sunday Intercessions should, by tradition, include prayer for Bishop Robert, Suffragan Bishop Andrew and the local Head of State by name. In addition, prayers may also include the heads of other states, His Majesty King Charles III and the leaders of other countries represented in the congregation.
Using the Prayer Diary
- You can download a copy of each quarter's edition of the diary below
- Each day, the relevant prayer is posted on our diocesan social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram @DioceseinEurope. We encourage you to add comments to these posts with any specific prayer requests for the chaplaincy mentioned.
