Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845) an English Quaker who was a prison reformer, philanthropist and mother of 11!

                                                       Psalm 1: 1a, 2a, 3a  

Happy 

are they whose delight 

is in the law of the Lord. They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing 

fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither

 “Lead us 

by Christ's love, 

& by the example 

of  Elizabeth Fry, 

to serve all those 

to whom the world offers no comfort 

and little help.”

Pray for those who work in prisons 

and for all who are in prison. Pray 

also for the end to for-profit prisons 

in our country which make a profit 
off of human frailty and misery. 

“The essence of Fry’s work was the conviction that all prisoners, male 

& female , are fellow human beings 

& ...that treatment must not contribute 

to the the degradation of inmates..." 

Evening Prayer

                                                              Psalm 112:4

Light 

shines 

in the 

darkness for the upright 

Sunday morning

                                               Psalm 146:2,4

Put not 

your trust

in rulers, 

nor in any 

child of
earth, 
for when 
they breathe their last 
they return to the earth.  

Happy are they who have 

the God of Jacob for their hope. 

  Tomorrow’s collect 

Lord, 

may 

your 

grace 

always 

precede

& follow 

us

 

St Philip Deacon and Evangelist (Acts 6:5)

                                                  Canticle 19 (= Revelation 15:3-4)

Your

ways 

are 

ways 

of righteousness 

and truth, O King of all the ages. 

A man of  prayer is not necessarily a person who says a number of offices or abounds in detailed  intercessions; but he is a child of God, who is and who knows himself to be in the deeps of his soul attached to God, and who is wholly and entirely guided by the Creative Spirit in his prayer and in his work.   Evelyn Underhill  

Acts 8: 26-40

Friday Evening Prayer

                                                            Psalm 141:2

Let my prayer be set forth 

in your sight as incense, 

the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

 Collect for Friday

     Luke 8:5-15:

Mercifully grant that 

we, walking 

in the way of the cross, 

may find it none other than the

and peace
