A Prayer for Stepney
God of silence and searching,
light of the faithful and guardian of souls:
grant to the See of Stepney
your grace in waiting,
your wisdom in listening,
and your discernment in calling.
In this time of vacancy,
gather your people in patient hope,
that through prayer, conversation, and accord,
your Spirit may shape the shepherd you will send,
and your Church may grow into the full stature
of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
