No form of prayer is "wrong", but sometimes we need encouragement and inspiration. The formal prayers offered daily in the Cathedral serve to encourage the worshipper by offering a way of praying together with other people. If you would like to join us in our prayer please visit our visitor information section of the website.
10 July is the anniversary of the death of Archbishop Minot whose tower is the Cathedral's landmark feature on Dublin's skyline. He died in 1375.
Gid is our hope and strength: a very present help in trouble.
(Psalm 46: 1)
O God our Father
whose might is a tower of strength in the face of the enemy;
Inspire us with your love and release us from our fear
that, empowered and supported by you, we stand firm in faith
and draw others to look up to you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
