The Anglican Cycle of Prayer

The Anglican Cycle of Prayer

for use in the Diocese of Rupert’s Land

May 2018

Church Year BYear 1 Daily Office RCL/BCP

Introduction

For each Sunday there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in The Anglican Communion Worldwide,The Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) as well the Diocese of Rupert’s Land. One of the characteristics of the Christian community throughout the ages has been our commitment to pray for the whole world but especially for our Christian sisters and brothers in churches closely linked to our own.

Prayer cycles can be overwhelming and ‘crowded’ pieces of liturgies. Care needs to be exercised in setting a context.
