2025 Prayer Movement
Praying for Growth in Dublin and Glendalough.
The census numbers in 2024 were alarming for the church. On the evidence of people in the pew, there are now in the region of 5,000 of us in church on any given Sunday in Dublin and Glendalough. For context, the greater Dublin area has a population about 1.8 million people.
This is a call to prayer and action.
Our vision is to see the Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough flourishing. There is a lot of work to do, but our first priority is prayer.
We want to start a prayer movement for our dioceses in 2025.
Our hope is to recruit and resource a Prayer Community of 2,025 members who make a daily commitment to:
Say the Lord’s Prayer
Contemporary
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen
Traditional
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Say the Diocesan Mission Prayer
Almighty God, we ask your blessing on the people of the Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough as they go about the work of mission in the everyday things of life.
As you sent your Son Jesus Christ to live the life of the world you created and to die for our sins, so give us a mission of worship and service in the same world during our days on earth.
Equip us to embrace our neighbour, to serve our society and to usher in the principles and the practices of your kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
This we ask in the name of the Risen Christ and in the strength of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Pray for Growth in our dioceses
Pray that more people will come to know the love of Jesus and join us in our life and worship
