Une prière très belle

Not sure why I bookmarked this blog of someone I don't know. There must have been some interesting article on it somewhere.

But on it, I found this lovely prayer, quoted apparently from the BCP:

"O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live:
Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy word;
and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
"

Somewhat archaic in language but beautiful in content. I'll definitely use this one!
