Good Friday Prayer - Anglican Prayers

Anglican Prayers

One of the Solemn Collects says

Merciful God, creator of all the peoples of the earth and lover of souls: Have compassion on all who do not know you as you are revealed in your Son Jesus Christ; let your Gospel be preached with grace and power to those who have not heard it; turn the hearts of those who resist it; and bring home to your fold those who have gone astray; that there may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Famous quotes containing the words anglican and/or prayers:

    “I am fifty-two years of age. I am a bishop in the Anglican Church, and a few people might be constrained to say that I was reasonably responsible. In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute—a white skin.”
    —Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)

    “The prayers I make will then be sweet indeed,
    If thou the spirit give by which I pray;
    My unassisted heart is barren clay,
    Which of its native self can nothing feed;”
    —Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)
