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,

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
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!

I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
