A prayer following tragedy in the English Channel 🙏

We believe
God cares for every child created, that every life matters to God.
No one dies unknown by God, everyone has value in God’s eyes.
The very hairs of each of our heads are counted.
We are all loved and precious to God.
So, we pray for the bereaved as they mourn their loved ones.
We pray that those gangs who smuggle people and treat them as disposable commodities will meet justice and be defeated. May your Kingdom come. Amen.

Churches across the diocese are invited to join in with prayer for the Grenfell community, using a text specially written by the Rt Revd Hugh Nelson, Bishop of St Germans.

The seventh anniversary of the fire is on June 17, 2024 and churches are asked to remember the 72 people who died in their prayers.

Holy God,

We pray for people and communities hurt and harmed by the Grenfell fire; Grant them your presence and peace.

We pray for people and communities carrying the consequences of injustice and inequality; Grant them your justice and judgement.

We pray for people and communities fighting for change and a better future; Grant them your healing and hope.

Holy God, holy and strong, be with the people and communities of Grenfell.

Amen

All this week, across our Duchy, this special prayer is being said: from Truro Cathedral to the Isles of Scilly. And even by a Cornish curate in the Diocese of Leeds. Could you use it too?
Thank you Bishop Hugh for writing such a beautiful prayer for us all to use in solidarity and love as June 14 approaches – 7 years since Grenfell Tower Fire claimed 72 lives including 18 children.
