Lord

The heart of the Christian community is our Triune Lord: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Geography, history, and numbers are not the heart, but probably I will type mostly on these topics. As the internet already provides many encouraging spiritual guides and discouraging contentious forums, I intend to offer neither.

A hymn for church unity

On Holy Thursday, 2020, I watched and prayed along with Cardinal Timothy Dolan at the 5:30 p.m. Eucharist from St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. Early during the Mass, the hymn, "Lord, who at thy First Eucharist Did pray" was sung by a cantor in a very empty cathedral, empty because of the gathering limitations of the Coronavirus pandemic.

This hymn for Eucharistic Unity was written by a member of the Church of England, namely William Harry Turton, 1856-1938. The lyrics can be seen and the hymn heard on YouTube HERE.
