When one of our Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles deans, the Very Rev. Canon Ian Elliott Davies, meets with clergy colleagues, he always brings his latest reading recommendations.

O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and earth: Put away from us, we entreat you, all hurtful things, and give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

— Book of Common Prayer
