From the Pastor
"God, bless the world and all that is therein.
God, bless my spouse and my children, God, bless the eye that is in my head, And bless, O God, the handling of my hand; What time I rise in the morning early, What time I lie down late in bed, Bless my rising in the morning early, And my lying down late in bed. God, protect the house, and the household, God, consecrate the children of the motherhood, God, encompass the flocks and the young; Be Thou after them and tending them, What time flocks ascend hill and wold, What time I lie down to sleep, What time flocks ascend hill and wold, What time I lie down in peace to sleep.” —“House Protecting,” a prayer from the ancient Irish text, Carmina Gadelica I, 103, in Esther de Waal, ed., The Celtic Vision (Liguori, Mo.: Liguori/Triumph, 1988, 2001), 77. (Note: the word “wold” means a piece of high, open, uncultivated land or moor.) ---------- Something to ponder today. Peace and blessings this day. |
