III. Prayer for the year:
Ukukhulekela iBandla eliNgcwele
Nkulunkulu Baba, wathumela iNdodana yakho uJesu ukuthi amanyanise lowo lalowo wethu lawe, lokuthi babambanise abantu bonke babe ngabazalwane, lokuthi ilizwi lakho litshunyayelwe ezizweni zonke, lombuso wakho wande ebantwini. Thumela uMoya wakho oNgcwele aqondise abantu bakho ngokukholwa, ngokuthemba, lothando, bagcine ubungcwele empilweni yabo, bathuthukise iBandla ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Sicela ngoKristu iNkosi yethu. Amen.
Praying for the Holy Church
God our Father, you sent your beloved Son Jesus to unite each one of us with you, and that all your people become one brethren, and that the Word of God be preached in all nations, and your Kingdom reign among us all. Send forth your Holy Spirit upon us all to grow in faith, hope, love, holiness, by involving ourselves in the building and the growth of the Church at all times.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
