Alcuin of York
God of wisdom, eternal light,
who shone in the heart of your servant Alcuin,
revealing to him your power and pity;
scatter the darkness of our ignorance
that, with all our heart and mind and strength,
we may seek your face
and be brought with all your saints
to your holy presence;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
God’s Word
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3, ESV)
