Our Morning Offering – 23 February – The Memorial of St Polycarp (c 69 – c 155) Martyr and Father of the Church
Prayer Before His Martyrdom
St Polycarp
Lord God almighty,
Father of Jesus Christ,
Your dear Son,
through whom we have come to know You,
God of the angels and powers,
God of all creation,
God of those who live in Your presence,
the race of the just, I bless You.
You have considered me worthy
of this day and hour,
worthy to be numbered with the Martyrs
and to drink the cup of Your Anointed One,
and thus to rise and live forever,
body and soul,
in the incorruptibility of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
