Celtic Prayers

From

The Celtic Way of Prayer

Esther de Waal

Marked by Claudia with a Salvador Dali bookmark from her 2003
trip to France to this:

"Making the bed provided them with the opportunity to reflect on God's many blessings.....

'I make this bed

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

In the name of the night we were conceived,

In the name of the night we were born,

In the name of the day we were baptised,

In the name of each night, each day,

Each angel that is in the heavens.'"

"A Celtic Prayer"

The Cross

In the Name of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

THE INVITATORY

O God make speed to save me (us),

O Lord make haste to help me (us),

Glory to the Father,

and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

Amen.

THE CRUCIFORMS

Be the eye of God dwelling with me.

The foot of Christ in guidance with me,

The shower of the Spirit pouring on me,

Richly and generously.

THE WEEKS

[Pray each phrase on a separate bead.]

I bow before the Father who made me,

I bow before the Son who saved me,

I bow before the Spirit who guides me,

In love and adoration.

I praise the Name of the One on high.

I bow before thee Sacred Three,The ever One, the Trinity.

This prayer was created by Sister Brigit-Carol, S.D.
