A Good Friday Prayer - From The 1662 Book Of Common Prayer
March 22, 2008 Posted by Roger Overton
Almighty God, we beseech thee graciously to behold this thy family,
for which our Lord Jesus Christ was contented to be betrayed, and given
up into the hands of wicked men, and to suffer death upon the cross.
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose spirit the whole body of the
church is governed and sanctified: receive our supplications and
prayers, which we offer before thee for all estates of men in thy holy
church, that every member of the same, in his vocation and ministry,
may truly and godly serve thee, through our Lord and savior Jesus
Christ.
O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou
hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he
should be converted and live: Have mercy upon all unbelievers, and take
from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy word;
and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be
saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold
under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with
thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end, Amen.
