A Prayer by St Brendan

I determine amidst all uncertainty

always to trust

I choose to live beyond regret

and let you recreate my life.

I believe you will make a way for me

and provide for me

if only I trust and obey.

 

I will trust in the darkness

and know that my times

are still in your hand.

I will believe you for my future

chapter by chapter

until all the story is written.

 

Teach me to live with eternity in view

tune my spirit to the music of heaven.  Amen
