• Prayer for Cities Under Attack

    In the last few days there have been terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels.

    People from all around the world and all traditions stand in solidarity with those places under attack.

    Eternal God
    hear the cries of your people
    as we stand in solidarity
    with those under attack.
    Protect the innocent,
    comfort the needy,
    confound the wicked.
    Give strength to the rescuers,
    determination to peacemakers,
    courage to law-enforcers,
    strength to the weary.
    Amen.

    No idea, without having consulted the cathedral statutes on the relative positions of the Canon Feline and the Provost.
