Lord, we thank you for the long life
which you gave to your servant, Prince Philip, a life lived in service and in loyalty to his Queen and to our country. As he now rests from his labours, may he share in your peace and rise in glory.

On the seventh day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, let us pray for our neighbours in other churches in our own locality, wherever we are.
May we seek ways to work, pray and serve together – that in love we may reflect the love of God to all people. #WPCU21

I am praying for the United States of America, shaken by the recent attack on Congress. I pray for those who lost their life. Violence is always self-destructive. I urge everyone to promote a culture of encounter and of care to construct the common good.
There will be many lessons to be learned from the scenes in Washington. For the moment let us pray for the USA, the world’s greatest defender of democracy until now, as it faces this huge shock. May God bless America with peace and reconciliation.
An Irish blessing to all, as we leave 2020 behind and move forward into 2021:
"May your troubles be less
and your blessings be more
and may nothing but happiness
come through the door."
Happy New Year from everyone at Rick Steves' Europe!
