A prayer of gratitude for all those who have chosen to dedicate their lives to living in Christian community and provide hospitality to those who journey in the chaotic waters of everyday life.

Pray for discernment of how and when to move into retreat for a time to rest, be still and listen for God’s direction in our life. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

These prayers are derived from the Primate's monthly column in The Journal by Mark Perrin, the AFP Web Coordinator, and reviewed by The Ven. Paul Feheley, Principal Secretary to the Primate.
