Prayer of praise for the greatness of God
Great, O God is the power of your glory; great are the wonders of your works and great is the wisdom of your justice and mercy, and for all these we bless you and magnify your holy name, now and for ever. Amen.
Prayer that we may glorify God's name
O Dduw ein Creawdwr, fel y glöwr yn cloddio dan ddaear a’r chwarelwr yn naddu wyneb y llechen, rwyt ti ar waith i ddarganfod trysor mewn mannau annisgwyl. Boed i ni gynhyrchu rhywbeth hardd i ti, hyd yn oed o’r tywyllwch a’r oerni, fel y dygom ogoniant i’th enw ac er mwyn dyfodiad dy Deyrnas. Amen.
O God our Creator, like the collier digging underground and the quarryman chiselling the face of the slate, you are at work to discover treasure in unexpected places. May we produce something beautiful for you, even from the darkness and the coldness, that we may bring glory to your name and for the sake of the coming of your kingdom. Amen.
A prayer for unity with God
Be to us, O God, our love and our hope; our thoughts flowing from you, our life being in you and our breathing taken with you; for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
John Cassian (c. 360-435)
