Prayers for the EU Referendum

Our Lady of Europe, Gibraltar Cathedral

The Bishops of England and Wales and the Scottish Bishops shared this prayer at the start of the EU Referendum campaign.

As you vote, you may wish to use this prayer: "Lord, grant us wisdom that we may walk with integrity, guarding the path of justice, and knowing the protection of your loving care for all."

The Church of England published this prayer for use by churches and individuals ahead of the vote on June 23.

God of truth,
give us grace to debate the issues in this referendum
with honesty and openness.
Give generosity to those who seek to form opinion
and discernment to those who vote,
that our nation may prosper
and that with all the peoples of Europe
we may work for peace and the common good;
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
