DAILY INTERCESSION
A PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR ''.We commend to Thee, O Merciful Father, all our brethren who are gone forth from amongst us to bear, arms and to be exposed to the peril of death, all who are thereby hindered from worshipping Thee in Thy house, that Thou will keep them from forgetfulness of Thee and of Thy holy law; all who are sick and wounded; all who are drawing nijgh unto death, all who are bereaved. And we : pray that thy Holy Spirit may so rule all of\us as to keep us from 'every'unbecoming and unChristian temper;from all cruel and unmerciful and vindictive thoughts. And we beseech Thee, good Lord, to restrain the evil passions of men and to deliver Thy people from the misery and strife of bloodshed, and to pour upon all the spirit of concord and peace.. And this we pray through Him Who is the Prince of Peace and Saviour of aWmen, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen." (Written by Bishop Selwyninthe time of the Maori War.) , : ,
