Holy God,
source of healing and of peace,

Through our partnership one with another
may we grow in mutual affection and communion,
seek a more profound experience of truth,
build up the Church in unity
and give glory to Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
The Partnership Prayer of the Gloucester –
Västerås Partnership
God, without boundaries, limitless in love:
bless with your grace
the partnership between Gloucester and Västerås;
in learning of one another,
help us to understand ourselves;
in wrestling with difference,
help us deepen our friendship;
in worshipping in unity,
help us to draw closer to you,
God in Trinity, embracing all.
Amen.
