we pray
Keep us Good Lord under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support the anxious and fearful and lift up all who suffer, that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love. This we pray in your name.
Amen.

Cranmer thrust his “unworthy right hand” (that had signed his recantation) first into the flames on the day of his martyrdom in Oxford. His legacy is the Book of Common Prayer, and he wrote most of its still-in-use collects.
Watch for more information about Thomas Cranmer in the Spring 2026 issue of Spiritus. ... See MoreSee Less

but no,
I pulled a heart
out of a breast
and showed to everyone
the names of G-d
engraved upon it
—from “Your Heart” in Book of Longing by Leonard Cohen ... See MoreSee Less
