A Prayer for Maine
Thank you, God, for the state of Maine,
reaching ever for the first light of day.
As Thy people wake to eastern rays,
what chowder of nourishment dost Thou prepare for body and soul:
concocted so delectably of pine needles and potatoes, of herring and clams
and lobsters in their rocky lairs, of blueberries and new-mown hay and
a thousand lakes and little boats brave upon the deep.
Of such blessings did our fathers and mothers distill their rugged liberty:
Grant us grace to win the same, along the country roads and on the fringed
and tasseled coast of our wooded land;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Photos and more from the consecration of the Rt. Rev. Stephen Lane, bishop coadjutor. Here...
