The Church of England’s prayer for King Charles III

By
5th February 2024

The Church of England has written a special prayer for its Supreme Governor following his diagnosis for cancer.

Just hours after His Majesty confirmed he is being treated for cancer, the Church issued a prayer for his recovery and care.

The prayer is ”Father of mercies, grant to Charles our King, comfort and sure confidence in you, and keep him in perpetual peace and safety, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

King Charles was diagnosed with cancer in recent days. It followed treatment for a benign prostate condition. During the process of treating his enlarged prostate, His Majesty’s doctors investigated a separate issue which led to the cancer being found.

On February 5th 2024, The King began a regular schedule of treatment. His diagnosis was revealed soon afterwards.

The King’s doctors have advised him to step back from public facing engagements while he is treated.
