Today is the feast day of WR Huntingdon, Episcopal priest, who died in 1909. Huntingdon was a major force in the church in his day, called for and participated in the revision of the prayer book that resulted in the 1892 BCP (and for real church geeks, he was a primary author of the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral. It’s in the small print section of your prayer book under “Historical Documents”. It’s the part I catch you reading when I am preaching….). This prayer was authored by him, we use it during Holy Week and on Fridays for the Daily Office:
Almighty God, whose dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
The way of the cross – the way of life and peace. Can be a tough “way” at times, but it is the way, the truth, the life. May God be with you on your journey along the way.
Love your blogs. Keeps me close to St Paul’s while I’m gone. Bless you.
Thanks again for these daily prayers and thoughts! We do need Jesus with us during all times of this journey through life. Blessings to you all.
