Grant, we beseech thee merciful Lord, to thy faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins, and serve thee with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Martin of Tours - November 11th
Mennas, Legionary & Martyr November 11th
Remembrance-Veterans Day - November 11th and Lt. Col John McCrae et. al.
News:
* There is a Service of Prayer for combatants in Iraq, with a link on our Order's Prayer page, sent to us by a centurion and assembled and or composed by a by a friend; we suggest it for use on Remembrance/Veterans Day November 11th and the Sunday following in public worship. One tradition is to remember our combatants on the 11th hour, the 11th day, of the 11th month when the treaty was signed ending the Great War in 1918. You'll note it on the calendar above along with the commemoration of four of Christ's soldiers. It may be easily modified for other nationalities, and used with the poem Flanders Fields. We suggest prayers for peace according to God's will, and for victory of Right over Evil as well. The appointed epistle for this Sunday from Ephesians vi. puts us in mind that we all need to don the armor of God as members of his great Army engaged in an invisible war against Evil.
* We've modified the front page slightly, moving some of the links and adding a few.
* Lt. Col John McCrae and the Remembrance/Veterans Day page is new.
* We've added several old tried and true prayers to the prayer page. The Lamb of God is the ancient version.. that centurions would have heard in the 4th Century. Also there is a prayer for the nation by Constantine... I am put in mind of the US motto: In God We Trust... so did Constantine. The prayer by Augustine for Night is from the Covenant Seminary Church History Course available through our Seminary page.. a similar translation of this prayer is part of the Episcopal Church evening prayer liturgy.
Bidding Prayer
Pray for:
Centurions in harms way
Peace in the Mideast
