A Prayer for HRH Prince Philip
O lord our Heavenly Father, Almighty and Everlasting God,
we remember before you thew late Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,
in thankfulness
for the blessings which you bestowed on him;
for the loyalty and service to our Sovereign lady Queen Elizabeth
and to our nation;
for his desire to give young people greater opportunities
through the award scheme in his name.
Have mercy, we pray, on Elizabeth our Queen and all the Royal family;
be gentle with them in their grief,
show them the depths of your love
and show them a glimpse of heaven;
and we pray that you will give us grace that,
having these mercies in remembrance,
we may with one heart and mind
set forward the welfare of this land and Commonwealth,
and hasten the coming of your kingdom of peace and goodwill among all people
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
