Commontide

For Guidance

O God, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light rises up in darkness for the godly: Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what you would have us do, that the Spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices; that in your light we may see light, and in your straight path we may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Draft — AI-assisted research under editorial review.

This Good Friday prayer for the Jewish people is one of ACNA's own compositions for the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. It is new to that book, but it stands in a long line of Good Friday prayers, going back at least to the fifth-century Roman church, that have prayed for the Jewish people on this day, a line that has been rewritten again and again as the Church has repented of harmful language it once used here.
