The Severe Mercy in “For the Faithful”
An ancient prayer from Apostolic Constitutions for protection, love, rest.
Some prayers do not decorate the soul. They undress it. That is part of their kindness.
The old words are not museum pieces. They are tools with worn handles. Pick them up.
Source boundary: this post reflects on For the Faithful, attributed in the corpus to Apostolic Constitutions. No outside sources used.
