The Great Litany Supplication
Joseph and Scott have recorded praying the Great Litany and the Supplication for your use at any time and is posted on YouTube, so that you can pray it with us.
You may wish to pray along and offer your responses by following The Great Litany in the Book of Common Prayer. The Great Litany was first used in 1544 by order of King Henry VIII at at time when England was at war with Scotland and France. It has been modified over time but still used in times of national distress ever since. and the rubrics for the Supplication specifically note for use at a time of "national anxiety".
Sunday will mark the last Sunday of Eastertide: the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Hopefully, Zoom will be cooperative, unlike last Sunday, and we will be able to offer Forum at 9:00 a.m., Morning Prayer at 9:30 a.m., and coffee hour to follow.
