In the Ember Weeks — The Ministers of Christ’s Church (2)
Henry P. LiddonO God, who makest thine angels spirits and thy ministers a flame of fire: Vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to stir up and confirm the sacred grace of orders in all stewards of thy mysteries; that as ministering spirits they may gather out of thy kingdom all things that offend, and may kindle in the hearts of all that fire which thou camest to send upon the earth; to the glory of thy holy name.
