St. Theodore’s

By Lisa Rotchford

Per the Oxford Dictionary of World Religions, prayer is defined as “the relating of the self or soul to God in trust, penitence, praise, petition, and purpose, either individually or corporately.”

As we are called to be at home for the safety of ourselves and others, the Episcopal/Anglican church has “biddings” that remind us we can spiritually “go out” and be in communication with our Creator at all times. Prayer transcends all boundaries.

In this time of trial, let us remember God is with us always, and as close as a prayer.

“Let us pray for the world, and let us thank God for all God’s goodness. In the power of the Spirit and in union with Christ, let us pray to God.

“From the rising of the sun to its setting, let us pray to the Lord.”
