Almighty God, you led your pilgrim people of old with fire and cloud: Grant that the ministers of your Church, following the example of blessed Enmegahbowh, may stand before your holy people, leading them with fiery zeal and gentle humility. This we ask through Jesus, the Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen.
The list of Episcopal Saints contains some very, very interesting people, and Enmgahbowh is one of them. His biography is worth looking up. He is the first Native American Episcopal priest, the son of an Ojibwa chief, with a fascinating story.
