A Prayer for the (Provisional) Feast Day of John XXIII

Lord of all truth and peace, who didst raise up thy bishop John to be servant of the servants of God and bestowed on him wisdom to call for the work of renewing your Church: Grant that, following his example, we may reach out to other Christians to clasp them with the love of your Son, and labor throughout the nations of the world to kindle a desire for justice and peace; through Jesus Christ, who is alive and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    I don’t seem to be able to find this provisional feast day in my CofE Calendar of Saints which lists St Petroc of Cornwall today; Is he a TEC or ACNA holy man or woman perhaps?

    My, my, he is a TEC holy man. How very inclusive. Presumably not this one
