Mid-day Prayer

Here is a prayer written by Frank Goodsir, a true mustachioed gentleman I have seen at both the Church of St. Luke's in the Fields at Integrity services and at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. Many thanks, Frank, for your offering here!

Noon Day Prayer

All praise to you at noon today
as we pause from labor to partake
of our mid day bread.

We lay aside our burdens in your care,
for you alone can resolve them.

Renew and refresh the spirit within us
and grant us peace.

Give us strength and courage to go forth
into the world as good stewards of your earthly
kingdom to love and care for our brothers and
sisters in their hour of need as our Saviour
Jesus Christ has taught us.

We are thankful for your blessings and grace.

AMEN
