**Scripture Reading for the morning**
Canticle
Christ, as a light
illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
and Christ beside me
on my left and on my right.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Christ, as a light;
Christ, as a shield;
and Christ beside me
on my left and on my right.
(from the Prayer of Saint Patrick)
(Pray for those to your left and right, a
seeker friend, and your day’s work.)
Blessing
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders He has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
