Coronation Reflection – Tuesday 2 May 2023

Tuesday 2 May

Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples;
ascribe to the Lord honour and strength …
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
let the whole earth tremble before him.
Psalm 96. 7, 9

The King heads the family of nations, the Commonwealth,
which seeks to enrich the life of its members and the world through shared values and practical cooperation.

Almighty Father,
whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son,
the King of all:
govern the hearts and minds of those in authority
and bring the families of the nations,
divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
to be subject to his just and gentle rule;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
