St Brigid's prayer...

"I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us.
I would like an abundance of peace.
I would like full vessels of charity.
I would like rich treasures of mercy.
I would like cheerfulness to preside over all.
I would like Jesus to be present.
I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us.
I would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered
around us from all parts.
I would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord;
that I should suffer distress, that he would bestow
a good blessing upon me.
I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings.
I would like to be watching Heaven's family drinking
it through all eternity."
- Prayer of St. Brigid (February 1, Feast Day of St. Brigid)
