Thomas Cranmer was the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was burned at the stake for his faith in 1556. This prayer is a powerful one to get our hearts prepared for hearing and applying God's word to our lives
Thomas Cranmer’s Prayer for the 2nd Sunday of Advent:
Blessed Lord,
which hast caused all holy Scripture to be written for our learning;
grant us that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them;
that by patience and comfort of thy holy word, we may embrace, and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life,
which thou has given us in our savior Jesus Christ.
Amen
