Daily Intercessions SEPTEMBER 2021
Welcome to the Cathedral’s intercessory prayer leaflet.
There are several cycles of prayer included here:
• the Anglican Communion cycle of prayer helping us to pray for the
worldwide Church;
• the Diocesan cycle of prayer which includes parishes, schools, sector ministry
and Diocesan staff;
• a Minster cycle of prayer which helps us to focus prayer for the wider
community as well as the roads and streets of the parish.
