A PRAYER OF SAINT COLUMBA

Let me bless Almighty God,

Whose power extends over sea and land,

Whose angles watch over all.

Let me study sacred books to calm my soul;

I pray for peace,

Kneeling at heaven’s gates.

Let me do my daily work,

Gathering seaweed, catching fish,

Giving food to the poor.

Let me say my daily prayers,

Sometimes chanting, sometimes quiet,

Always thanking God.

Delightful it is to live

On a peaceful isle, in a quiet cell,

Serving the King of kings.

St. Columba, called the dove of the Church, was a renowned man of letters and brought a revival to Christianity after the fall of the Roman empire.

521 - 597 A.D.
