A prayer from Franklin Saunders the moneychanger

[mfox]

O
LORD, we beseech you favorably to hear the prayers of your people; that we, who are justly punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by thy goodness;
Grant us
That you from your boundless mercy would forgive us all our sins and grant us the grace of true repentance,
That you would graciously intervene to stop the spread of this plague,
That you would kindly heal those who are already sick,
That you would protect from infection all those who mercifully minister to the sick,
That you would use us, your people, as agents of your love and compassion,
And that you would draw all men to yourself through the saving power of Jesus Christ crucified, for the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
