In the Ember Weeks — The Ministers of Christ’s Church (11)
Adapted from Liturgy of St. JamesRemember, O Lord, the ministers of thy Church for their labour in Word and sacrament, and in the proclamation of thy glorious gospel. Endow them with wisdom for their high task, with learning for the setting forth of thy truth, with zeal and devotion for thy glory and the salvation of souls, with humble self-surrender, lest they themselves be cast away; and grant that both by their lives and their labours they may advance thy heavenly kingdom; for the honour of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ.
