Ember Day Today

Today is the first of the summer Ember Days, when we pray especially for those to be ordained.


Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, in your divine
providence you have appointed various orders in your
Church: Give your grace, we humbly pray, to all who are
now called to any office and ministry for your people; and so
fill them with the truth of your doctrine and clothe them with
holiness of life, that they may faithfully serve before you, to
the glory of your great Name and for the benefit of your holy
Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
for ever, Amen.

I remember this day those to be ordained this Saturday in the Diocese of Newark, and all members of the General Theological Seminary Class of 2007.
