| Miracle at Cana, Wilson Bigaud, 1951 |
Prayers written for The Second Sunday of Epiphany (Year C) based on readings from Isaiah 62.1-5, 1 Corinthians 12.1-11 and John 2.1-11 and the text of The Marriage Service
Almighty God, you blessed the wedding at Cana with your presence
and bless all who have vowed to follow you.
By your Spirit, unite your church, that it might be a sign of your transforming love to all people.
We pray for our Bishops, Priests, Deacons and all who serve in your name;
for those preparing to make or renew vows of commitment and for those experiencing relationship difficulties.
We give thanks for the gifts of faith, hope and love.
May we use them to reveal a foretaste of the riches of your kingdom on earth.
