Celtic spirituality and art uses the circle to express wholeness and perfection in
Christ. May this symbol inspire us towards greater wholeness and perfection in
our daily faith.
Tues 17th St Patrick, Patron of Ireland
When St Patrick was about 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to
Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. He
entered the church, and became a deacon and bishop. Let us give thanks for his faith
as we pray for all our members in Ireland today.
Weds 18th

Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.

Celtic spirituality is rooted in the earth so today we pray for the environment and for
the effects of climate change. May we cherish and not abuse this planet; it is not ours
but God’s.

May we live in peace without weeping. May our joy outline the lives we touch
without ceasing. And may our love fill the world, angel wings tenderly beating.
significance will be learnt for eternity. Irish blessing

Today we think of all the magical Celtic places that reveal God’s beauty to the rest of
