Day 4

Prayer
Almighty and everlasting God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift; Send down upon our Bishops, and other Clergy, and upon the Congregations committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace; and, that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our Advocate arid Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Reflection
“The work of the parish priest, for God and for souls, depends for its worth, and depends wholly, on his own life of prayer.”

Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)
