For the Acceptance of Prayer

Heavenly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son 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.
