On this Remembrance Day please offer this prayer for current and former soldiers of all wars.
We are off to New Brunswick for a family wedding on Friday evening, so I will not be sending out a post tomorrow. Have a wonderful weekend.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
O Lord our God, whose name only is excellent and thy praise above heaven and earth:
We give thee high praise and hearty thanks for all those who counted not their lives dear unto themselves but laid them down for their friends;
beseeching thee to give them a part and a lot in those good things which thou has prepared for all those whose names are written in the Book of Life;
and grant to us, that having them always in remembrance, we may imitate their faithfulness and with them inherit the new name which thou has promised to them that overcome; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Very Rev Eric Milner-White (1884-1963), Dean of York
