In the Ember Weeks — The Ministers of Christ’s Church (1)
Ashton Oxenden*O Almighty God, be pleased to remember with thy mercy and love all those who minister before thee in holy things. Prosper the great work in which they are engaged. Enable them faithfully to preach thy Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy sacraments. May they uphold Christ, both by their words and in their lives, and in all things set forward thy glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
