Prayer to St Brigid of Kildare
1st February, 2021
Oh Brigid, Mary of the Gael,
may your protection never fail.
Spread your mantle over me,
where ‘ere I am, where ‘ere I be.
Cover me with God’s joy and peace,
let my faith and hope never cease.
Shine your light
where there is darkness,
…When evil darkens our world, give us light.
When despair numbs our souls, give us hope.
When we stumble and fall, lift us up.
When doubts assail us, give us faith.
When nothing seems sure, give us trust.
When ideals fade, give us vision.
When we lose our way, be our guide!
That we may…
When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty,
trust him fully,
either he will catch you when you fall
or he will teach you how to fly.
Amen!
