St. Paul’s Cycle of Prayer – Friday – Daughters of the King, Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Marthas, worship volunteers (acolytes, ushers and greeters, chalice bearers) and all over volunteer groups who work so tirelessly and joyfully for the Kingdom of God and the Body of Christ at St. Paul’s.

From the General Thanksgiving these familiar words stood out for me as I said Evening Prayer: We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. 

The means of grace…..the hope of glory….something to meditate on this evening. What do these words say to you? What are the “means of grace”? What do we mean by “glory”?
