Florence Li Tim-Oi (Memorial)
Psalm 130
Today is a day in the Anglican Communion when we remember Florence Li Tim-Oi, the first female Anglican priest. You can learn more about her story by consulting the "It Takes One Woman" website.
Loving God, giver of all good gifts,
fill us with your grace,
that we, like your servant Tim-Oi,
first woman to be ordained an Anglican priest,
may entrust you with our destiny.
May we, with her same forbearance in the face
of adversity, witness to you in all things;
through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen.
" I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning. "
-Psalm 130:5-6
