Loving Father, as we join with Mothers’ Union around the world praying for faith in action, we pray for all that we do in the Oxford Diocese. We pray for our Diocesan Projects, including the support given to Children Heard & Seen, Baby Basics and Ronald Macdonald House. We give thanks for campaigns against racial injustice, and for activism against gender-based violence. Bless and guide us through all the many opportunities you give us to be active in our parishes and communities, showing the love of the Lord Jesus. We pray for our Branches and for Diocesan Members, for our Diocesan Trustees and for those who hold office in our branches. Father be with us all as we work to truly reflect your glory in all that we do. AMEN

Loving Lord, we thank you for your love so freely given to us all. We pray for families around the world. Bless the work of the Mothers' Union as we seek to share your love through the encouragement, strengthening and support of marriage and family life. Empowered by your Spirit, may we be united in prayer and worship, and in love and service reach out as your hands across the world. In Jesus' name. Amen

Mary Sumner's Personal Prayer Written by her in 1876 and then prayed by her every day for the rest of her life - “All this day, O Lord, let me touch as many lives as possible for thee; and every life I touch, do thou by thy spirit quicken, whether through the word I speak, the prayer I breathe, or the life I live. Amen.”
