Ecumenical Calendar of Commemorations

A resource booklet prepared by Church Life Network to commemorate Scottish personalities who have contributed and shape the life of our society over the centuries. 

Please pray with us ...

Risen Christ,
as you journeyed with the two who travelled the Emmaus Road,
travel with us on our journey of faith.
In our encounters on the way
give us compassion to listen to the other’s story
give us patience to explain what may seem obvious to ourselves
give us courage to make ourselves vulnerable towards the other,
so that others may encounter You through us
and we may rediscover You through them.

Amen
