a wednesday musing


christ, reconciler

So, I have been playing around in my Celtic prayerbooks again. This is, of course, in preparation for my thesis. Heh. Well, some good work has been done on the thesis. I'll get there by hook or by crook.

Celtic Daily Prayers from Iona by J. Philip Newell is my favorite of those I have encountered thus far. I have had it the longest, too. I am sure there is something in that relationship of time and favoritism to contemplate, but I'll save it for later.

I thought I would share the Intercessions this afternoon. Pray them at your leisure.
There is no plant in the ground
But tells of your beauty, O Christ.
There is no creature on the earth
There is no life in the sea
But proclaims your goodness.
There is no bird on the wing
There is no star in the sky
There is nothing beneath the sun
But is full of your blessing.
Lighten my understanding
of your presense all around, O Christ
Kindle my will
to be caring for Creation.
Pray for the day and for the care of the earth.

Is the picture reversed on your page? Normally the Theotokos is on the left.

That's a lovely prayer, Tripp.

("presence," not "presense.")

se, ce....urgh.

Cliff, that is an old picture from out time at Chase Cafe. The Theotokos has her own small iconostasis at Holy Trinity now.
