The King and the Kings Son

18Sep
Give the King your justice, O God,
and your righteousness to the King's Son.
-Psalm 72:1 


Today is the feast day of EDWARD BOUVERIE PUSEY who was one of the founders and theologians of the Oxford movement which is commonly remembered as a Catholic liturgical reform including: Eucharist as a more regular feature of Sunday worship, the reintroduction of vestments, and return to more gothic and baroque architecture. 

The Oxford movement was also a renewal of the church’s focus on justice. Pusey and the other Puseyites as they were known were instrumental in stirring up the Church's concern for the welfare, both spiritual and material, of the working classes and poor. 

The Oxford movement made it a priority to built churches in working class areas and slums, opened shelters, orphanages, and laid the foundation for modern social work including housing programs and American New Deal policies of the 1930s. 

Pusey is a wonderful example of striving to love neighbor, do justice, and walking humbly with God. 


How does your liturgy inspire you to Give the King your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the King's Son.

Grant, O God, that in all time of our testing we may know your presence and obey your will; that, following the example of your servant Edward Bouverie Pusey, we may with integrity and courage accomplish what you give us to do, and endure what you give us to bear; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
