Today the Church remembers Lancelot Andrewes...

A 16th/17th century bishop and scholar. One of the translators of the King James Bible, and masterful at preaching.

One of his prayers, for today:


Be, Lord, within me to strengthen me,
without me to preserve,
over me to shelter,
beneath me to support,
before me to direct,
behind me to bring back,
round about me to fortify.
Amen.
