@prayerfortheday.bsky.socialLord,
give to your people the grace to hear your word,
so that, following in the example of William Tyndale,
we may not only profess your gospel,
but also be ready to suffer and die for it,
to the honour of your name,
through Jesus Christ our lord.
#Amen

If you have ever used the phases, "let there be light", "the powers that be" and 'the salt of the earth" then, you are already familiar with William Tyndale's works.
