With deep gratitude, we remember the remarkable life and legacy of Sandra Day O’Connor, a wise and pioneering jurist who will forever be remembered as the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice O’Conner was also a faithful Episcopalian, a lay leader in the church, and a friend of our diocese and Grace Cathedral, especially. May she rest and peace and may her family, friends, and colleagues be comforted in this time of mourning.

+Marc

O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that your servant Sandra, being raised with Christ, may know the strength of his presence and rejoice in his eternal glory; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
