PRAYER OF THE DAY
Commemorating John Keble, priest
Father of the eternal Word,
in whose encompassing love all things in peace and order move: grant that, as your servant John Keble
adored you in all creation,
so we may have a humble heart of love for the mysteries of your Church
and know your love to be new every morning,
in Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
