Reading this week's prayers is Beatriz Brooks: "I am a candidate for ordination in the Diocese of Salisbury. By God’s grace, I hope to be ordained on 28 June 2026 so that I may serve my curacy at St Mark’s, Talbot Village. It has been a long journey of reflection and listening to the call of my Lord. Today I am also battling cancer, but I know that whatever my future holds, it is in His hands. Whether here on earth or in heaven, I will serve my God, who has never let go of me with His loving hand."
