The kindling prayer

 

I will kindle my fire this morning
In the presence of the holy angels of heaven
Without malice, without jealousy, without envy,
But the Holy Son of God to shield me.
God, kindle Thou in my heart within

A flame of love to my neighbour,
To my foe, to my friend, to my kindred all.

- Celtic prayer from 'Carmina Gadelica'
