Thomas Cranmer, 1489-1556. Archbishop of Canterbury and chief author of the Book of Common Prayer, which first came into use on the Day of Pentecost, 1549.

                          Psalm 18:1

      I 

      love 

      you, 

      O 

      Lord, 

      my 

      strength. 

Pray for liturgical scholars, 

for all who order and lead our worship, for the ongoing renewal 

of the church and openness to the Holy Spirit, for a reconciliation between Protestant and Catholic strands of Christianity and for an understanding of those whose whose religious beliefs differ 

from our own.
