Almighty Creator, our love of You is innate to who we are. Help us to proclaim the greatness of your name in all we do.

A rushing wind and tongues of flame, then the Holy Spirit's gift of translation. On this Day of Pentecost (also called Whitsunday in the Book of Common Prayer), we call upon the Holy Spirit to cast out all miscommunication, and to fill our hearts with the fire of God’s love.

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Matthias in the Book of Alternative Services, transferred from May 14. Matthias was chosen to take the place of Judas Iscariot in the company of the twelve apostles. Almighty God, call us to where we are most needed.

On Easter Sunday, we celebrated God’s triumph over death; today we proclaim the glory of His ascension into heaven to prepare a place for us forever.

The Sun of righteousness has risen: O come, let us worship.

Anglicans across Canada can join online in the Thy Kingdom Come worship service at St. James Cathedral in Toronto this Sunday, part of a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians to pray for more people to come to know Jesus.

Today is the Sixth Sunday of Easter in the BAS and the Fifth Sunday after Easter (Rogation Sunday) in the BCP. The Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday preceding the Ascension are Rogation Days, devoted to Creation Care and asking for God’s blessing on agriculture and industry.

The Feast day of Saint John the Evangelist alternates between May 6 and December 27, depending on the year. This year’s feast offers us the opportunity to commemorate ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved’ during a different liturgical season than the last.

[Anglican Church of Canada—ACC @generalsynod]

Today we commemorate both the Fifth Sunday of Easter in the Book of Alternative Services and the Fourth Sunday after Easter in the Book of Common Prayer.
Almighty God, give us grace to love one another, and help us to fix our eyes upon the promise of peace that is eternal life.

"In the sixth century the Church of Rome acquired some relics of James and placed them in a reliquary which already held some remains of Philip. This reliquary was placed in a new church, which was dedicated jointly to the two Apostles on May first..." (For All the Saints, 2007)

Deliver us from shame and inaction, O Creator, so that we may learn from our mistakes and return to good works.

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist, whose sharp-edged account of Christ’s ministry is the shortest of the gospels. He addresses the people of God with candour and urgency, delivering the good news without diluting the reality of Christian persecution.

As Ridván is observed, we share our good wishes with the Bahá’í community. May this festival inspire joy, unity and spiritual renewal in the days ahead.

Make space to pause, reflect and respond. Gospel-based discipleship offers that rhythm. Find the readings for May at anglican​​.ca.
