Abbey prays for Nelson Mandela
Wednesday, 26th June 2013
Prayers for the former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela are being included in daily Eucharists at Westminster Abbey.
The Church of England has published a prayer for use by individuals and communities of prayer:
Gracious Father,
You gave up your Son
out of love for your world:
Look with mercy on Madiba Mandela;
And on all your children in South Africa.
As they reflect on Christ’s Death and Resurrection,
may they know eternal peace
through the shedding of our Saviour’s blood,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
