Diocesan Prayer Diary: continuing to pray the parishes of Deanery of Burnham and Walsingham, including the Shrine of Our Lady. The Sunday prayer (drawn from one of a variety of sources):-

God of all hope and joy, open our hearts in welcome,
so that your Son Jesus Christ at his coming
may find in us a dwelling prepared for him;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
