PRAYER (traditional language) Preface of a Saint (1) Almighty
God, who didst call thy servant Theodore of Tarsus from Rome to
the see of Canterbury, and didst give him gifts of grace and
wisdom to establish unity where there had been division, and

by the operation of the Holy Spirit, such godly union and
concord that it may proclaim, both by word and example, the
Gospel of the Prince of Peace; who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever PRAYER (contemporary
