As you pray the Celtic Prayer, you are invited to hold a loved one in prayer. If you choose, you may insert a loved one’s name in place of “me.”
“Christ as Light illuminate and me (name)
Christ as shield overshadow me (him/her)
Christ under me, Christ over me
Christ beside me on my left and on my right
This day be within and without me
Christ as Light, Christ as shield
Christ beside me on my left and on my right
Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the Storm
Still me O Lord, keep me from harm
Let all tumult within me cease.
Enfold me Lord in your peace.
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.
Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true Word.
I ever with Thee, and Thou with Me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee One.
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.”
