I’ve been reading through Celtic Daily Prayer this month, and the devotional for September 19 struck me. No commentary to add…just read and enjoy the words:
O Son of Mary,
how wonderful
Your friendliness to me!
How deep! How unchanging!
Help me to pass it on.
Help me to find my happiness
in my acceptance
of what is Your purpose for me:
in friendly eyes; in work well done;
in quietness born of trust;
and, most of all,
in the awareness
of Your presence in my spirit.
Come, Lord Jesus, come as King.
Rule in our minds: come as peace.
Rule in our actions: come as power.
rule in our days: come as joy.
Thy Kingdom come among us. Amen.
