Anthony Wilson Thorold ( 1825 – 1895 ) was an Anglican Bishop in England in the 19th Century . He was Bishop Of Rochester from 1877 to 1891 , and Bishop Of Winchester from 1891 to 1895 . Thorold was cousin to Edward Trollope , Suffragan Bishop for Nottingham from 1877 . Unlike his cousin, Thorold performed little scholarship, but was devoted to his duties nonetheless. A prayer is attributed to "Bishop A. W. Thorold, D.D., Lord Bishop of Winchester, England": :"Lord of souls, who hast chosen and called me to service in Thy Church, all our trust is in Thee, for in Thee are the springs of my life. Abundantly give me of Thy Blessed Spirit, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is Holy; and use me as it shall please Thee for the glory of Thy name. Make my will patient, my conscience pure, my temper bright. Empty me of self, and fill me with the meekness of wisdom. Increase my faith, mellow my judgment, stir my zeal, enlarge my heart. Let my life enforce what my lips utter. Do Thou choose for me the work I do, and the place in which I do it; the success I win and the harvest I reap. Preserve me from jealousy and impatience; from self-will and depression. Make me faithful unto death and then give me the crown of life. All this I ask for Christ's sake. Amen." |
