na’s Jubilee.

The Bishop’s Conference established that, at all Sunday Masses on 11/12 June 2016, each parish prays for Her Majesty the Queen to mark her 90th birthday.

Prayer for the Queen

V. O Lord, save Elizabeth, our Queen. R. And hear us on the day we call upon you.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come before you.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with your spirit.

Almighty God, we pray,

That our servant Elizabeth, our Queen, Who, by your providence has received the governance of this realm,

May continue to grow in every virtue, That, imbued with your heavenly grace,

She may be preserved from all that is harmful and evil And, being blessed with your favour

May, with her consort and the royal family, Come at last into your presence,

Through Christ who is the way, the truth and the life And who lives and reigns with you

In the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever.

Amen
