Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace;
strengthen them in their trials and temptations;
give them courage to face the perils which beset them;

and that, their health being renewed, they may bless your holy Name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Cycle of Prayers for the Church
In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for Deacons throughout the Church:
Gracious God, we praise you for sending your Son Jesus Christ, who took on himself the form of a servant, and humbled himself, becoming obedient even to death on the cross. We praise you that you have highly exalted him, and made him Lord of all; and that, through him, we know that whoever would be great must be servant of all.
Today we thank you for raising up among us faithful servants for the ministry of your Word and Sacraments, and especially those called to serve as deacons in your Church. We give thanks for Brooks and Anne, for their example in word and action, in love and patience, and in holiness of life. We thank you for their ministry of making Christ’s redemptive love known to us; for the ways they interpret the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world to us; for their proclamation of your Word; and for their leadership in our sacramental life.
As your Son came not to be served but to serve, may our deacons continue to share in Christ's service, and come to the unending glory of him who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Episcopal Church in the Philippines.
In the Military Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the United States Navy on their 249th birthday.
