Lent, Day 24

Commemoration of Thomas Cranmer (died 1556), Archbishop of Canterbury, author of The Book of Common Prayer (1549). This familiar prayer of confession was translated by Cranmer for The Book of Common Prayer from the Latin in the Sarum Missal.

Almighty God, unto Whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy Name: through Christ our Lord. Amen.
