"DIOCESAN PRAYER: O ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father, who by the childbearing of blessed Mary Ever-Virgin hast revenged our ruin and by the ministry of thy holy angels dost ever succour and defend us: Keep, we beseech thee, our Diocese under thy continual help and protection; that we, ever needful of thy grace, may bring forth for thee the fruit of good works and the harvest of souls; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost ever, One God, world without end. Amen." Composed by The Most Revd Mark Haverland when Episcopal Visitor to our Diocese
