A Prayer Adopted From Deacon Fournier And Adapted


The following prayer is an adaptation of a prayer by the Rev. Deacon Keith Fournier, NOVEMBER 17, 2023.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for Thy great gift of living faith that has opened now our eyes to see life differently because of Who Jesus is and who we are becoming in Him. Lord, we thank Thee for sending Him, Thy beloved only-begotten Son as our Saviour, so that we may be sons in the Son, and see with new eyes all that Thou art accomplishing even in the midst of this present darkness. Vouchsafe to help us, O Lord, to be light to dispel the darkness. Help us to manifest Thy hope for so many people struggling and depressed and fearful. Help us, we beseech Thee, to be disciples who stand with Thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and are faithful to Him and faithful to His teaching, and to take our place following in His footsteps. Be with us alway and guide us henceforth with Thy saving grace. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Faith walks simply, childlike, between the darkness of human life and the hope of what is to come.

G. K. CHESTERTON

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.
