My eyes fail with tears,
My heart is troubled;
My bile is poured on the ground
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because the children and the infants
Faint in the streets of the city. (Lamentations 2:11)
Holy Spirit, give us hearts that truly grieve over the apostasy and destruction of the Episcopal Church.
They say to their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they swoon like the wounded
In the streets of the city,
As their life is poured out
In their mothers’ bosom. (Lamentations 2:12)
Lord Jesus, feed the children of this land with daily bread and with your living word.
How shall I console you?
To what shall I liken you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare with you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is spread wide as the sea;
Who can heal you? (Lamentations 2:13)
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the healer; put your hand on the Episcopal Church and console and comfort us.
Your prophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions;
They have not uncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions. (Lamentations 2:14)
Holy Father, the church as been afflicted with false prophets and its leaders and teachers and people have believed delusions; have mercy on us.
All who pass by clap their hands at you;
They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that is called
‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?” (Lamentations 2:15)
Holy Spirit, please help us lament the Episcopal Church’s fall from grace and daily life it up to Jesus in prayer. Thank you.
