THE ANGLICAN THEOLOGICAL
FOUNDATION:
ORTHODOX AND CATHOLIC,

“One canon [the Bible] reduced to writing
by God himself,
two testaments, three creeds, four
general councils,
five centuries, and the series of fathers
in that period -
the centuries, that is, before
Constantine, and two after,
determine the boundary of our faith.”
Lancelot Andrews

ANIMA CHRISTI
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me;
Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
O good Jesu, hear me;
Within thy wounds hide me;
Suffer me not to be separated from thee;
From the malicious enemy defend me;
In the hour of my death call me,
And bid me come to thee.
That with thy Saints I may praise thee
For ever and ever. Amen
Mother Mary’s Commandment
“His mother saith unto the servants,
Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.”
Saint
John 2:5
In Christ's love, Fr. Robert Pax
