Diocesan Prayer Diary: for the parishes of Deanery of Burnham and Walsingham.
The Sunday prayer (drawn from one of a variety of sources):-

God of glory and compassion, at your touch the wilderness blossoms.
Grant perseverance and patience to all who long for your Son’s return,
so that we may announce in word and deed the good news of the kingdom.
We ask this through Christ whose day draws near..
