- Morning Prayers We walk in the light of this bountiful day
in the great strength of the most high God of gods,
in the favor of Christ,
in the light of the Holy Spirit,
in faith of the patriarchs,
in the service of the prophets,
in the peace of the apostles,
in the joy of angels,
in the splendor of the saints,
in the work of the faithful,
in the strength of the righteous,
in the witness of the martyrs,
in the chastity of the virgins,
in the wisdom of God,
in the patience of many,
in the denial of the flesh,
in the control of the tongue,
in the abundance of peace,
in the praise of the Trinity,
in the sharpness of senses,
in continuing good works,
in step with the Spirit,
in the words of God,
in many blessings. In this is the way of all who labor for Christ,
who led the saints into joy forever after their deaths,
that they might listen to the voices of the angels,
praising God and saying:
“Holy, holy, holy.” [14] Book of Cerne, 9th Century, p. 91-92
Translated for Prayers from the Ancient Celtic Church
Protect us this day,
O Lord, holy Father,
almighty and eternal God,
and in your compassion and mercy,
help and guide us.
Enlighten our hearts
and keep our thoughts, words and works
pleasing in your sight,
that we may do your will
and walk in your path of righteousness
our whole life long. Amen. [15] Antiphonary of Bangor, 7th century, Collect at Prime #16 We pray to you, O Most High,
as the light of the sun comes forth,
may the name of Christ arise
and be with us, Lord;
you reign forever. [16] Antiphonary of Bangor, Collect at Prime #17 O God, rescue all
who sing praises to you as Three,
and confess and sing to you as One
with sacred hymns;
who reigns forever. [17] Antiphonary of Bangor, Collect at Prime #24
