Coronation Reflection – Monday 1 May 2023

Monday 1 May 2023

Jesus said,
‘Whoever wishes to be great among you
must be your servant,
and whoever wishes to be first among you
must be your slave;
just as the Son of Man came not to be served
but to serve,
and to give his life a ransom for many.’     Matthew 20. 26 – 28

We ask that Charles may have the grace to lead
in humility with all his heart, mind, soul and strength.

ALMIGHTY God, whose kingdom is ever-lasting, and power infinite:
Have mercy upon the whole Church; and so rule the heart of thy chosen servant Charles,
our King and Governor, that he (knowing whose minister he is) may above all things seek thy honour and glory:
and that we and all his subjects (duly considering whose authority he hath) may faithfully serve,
honour, and humbly obey him, in thee, and for thee, according to thy blessed Word and ordinance;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
