Time of reflection

The Lords My Shepherd

Almighty God,
Your presence comforts and inspires,
You set before us a shining example to follow
Your love and mercy surround us all our days
We offer now our gratitude for your servant
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
For gifts of courage, duty and selfless service
We give our thanks.
For concise speech and thought,
We give our thanks.
For his passion for this diverse world,
And all its creatures,
We give you thanks.
For his daily commitment to country and Commonwealth,
We give you thanks.
We thank you also for his role
As husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
For the way in which he took the lead,
And challenged and set goals,
And encouraged all life to be lived to the full.
We bless you for his many years of marriage to our Queen,
For his steadfast support through her long reign,
And for the bonds of affection that sustained them through each stage of life.
We praise you for his enduring faith, unafraid to ask questions,
But loyal in devotion to the church.
For his work with the young especially through the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
Which still enriches the lives of many in this country and across the world,
We give you thanks.,
And across the many charitable causes to which he lent support,
We give you our heartfelt thanks.
We remember at this time all who will mourn his loss,
Especially those who knew him best and love him most.
We hold before you in our prayers Her Majesty the Queen.
The passing of a constant support, wise counsellor and loyal friend
Will be hard to bear;
The passing of an understanding mind and compassionate heart
Will be hard to bear.
Give her strength and comfort,
Give her peace and acceptance,
That through the passage of time, bright memories and laughter
Will sustain her and remain
As testament to a long life of duty and love,
Dedicated to care of family,
And service to country.
To you we offer our thanks and praise today, as we seek strength and direction
For the way ahead in our own lives. AMEN
