(205.188.116.143) | On page 20 of the BCP is a prayer from St. Crysostem. I didn't really know who he was so I did some research and came across this wonderful commentary of his on The Lord's Prayer:
Consider how Jesus Christ teaches us to be humble, by making us see that our virtue does not depend on our work alone but on grace from on high. He commands each of the faithful who prays to do so universally, for the whole world. For He did not say "thy will be done in me, or in us", but "on earth", the whole earth, so that error may be banished from it, truth take root in it, all vice be destroyed on it, virtue flourish on it, and earth no longer differ from heaven.
