We commend our loved ones, ourselves and all those we meet today into Christ’s hands during our Evening Prayer, as Ally prays for us to have a quiet night’s sleep.
Felicity and Cyril pray for us to have greater understanding of what it is to be a child, and for children everywhere to be safe and enveloped in love this Morning Prayer.
