A Prayer for the Feast Day of Edward Bouverie Pusey

Posted on September 18, 2010 by Kendall Harmon

Grant unto us, O God, that in all time of our testing we may know thy presence and obey thy will; that, following the example of thy servant Edward Bouverie Pusey, we may with integrity and courage accomplish what thou givest us to do, and endure what thou givest us to bear; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

    In 1845, when John Henry Newman finally decided that he must follow his conscience and seek his future in serving God in communion with the See of Rome, one of his most intimate Anglican friends and allies, the priest Edward Bouverie Pusey, whose memory the Church of England marked in its liturgical calendar yesterday, wrote a moving meditation on this “parting of friends” in which he said of the separation between Anglicans and Roman Catholics: 　”it is what is unholy on both sides that keeps us apart”.

    In all of the attention given to the Newman beatification, it is good to remember the patient and faithful ministry of Pusey, Richard Church, and countless others whose vision of the Church and her authentic identity has enriched us to this day (the key difference being their capacity for endurance–see the prayer above– was apparently greater than that of Newman.
