A Prayer for the Feast Day of William Laud

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Kendall Harmon

Keep us, O Lord, constant in faith and zealous in witness, that, like thy servant William Laud, we may live in thy fear, die in thy favor, and rest in thy peace; for the sake of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

    “…zealous in witness, that, like thy servant William Laud…”

    The William Laud of the Star Chamber? Really?

    Keep us, O Lord, constant in faith and zealous in witness, yet filled with compassion and your charity, that, unlike thy servant William Laud, who inflicted torture, maimed, and persecuted his fellow Christians that believed differently than he did, we may live in thy fear, die in thy favor, and rest in thy peace; for the sake of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
