I open with this beautiful prayer written by Thomas Cranmer hundreds of years ago.

We call it the Prayer of Humble Access.

And it's prayed in our traditional Rite One Eucharist right before we take communion.

And this is a beloved prayer of many Episcopalians.

And I was reminded this week in our clergy meeting that This prayer harkens back to our gospel reading today.

We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table.
