Celtic Prayers

An Evening Prayer

 

When I see the moon in the night sky
I speak my evening prayer:
Praise be to the Being of Life,
For His kindness and His goodness.

Around The Fire

May the Sacred Three
Save,
Sheild,
Surround,
The hearth,
The house,
The household,
This eve,
This night,
Oh! This eve,
This night,
And every night,
Each single night.
Amen.

 

Traditional Celtic blessing used to celebrate the start of the Celtic New Year (Samhain - November 1st)

 

Scripture Meditation Before Sleeping

Here's a good bible passage to read and reflect on at bedtime:-

 

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. (Psalm 91:1-7, NIV)

(visit psalm 91 commentary to explore the meaning of this scripture)

Night Vigil



Watch thou, dear Lord,
with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give thine angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend thy sick ones, Lord Christ.
Rest thy weary ones.
Bless thy dying ones.
Soothe thy suffering ones.
Pity thine afflicted ones.
Shield thy joyous ones.
And all, for thy love's sake.

Amen.

Saint Augustine of Hippo (4th Century, North Africa)


The Wings of Sleep

O Lord our God, King of the Universe.
Let the wings of sleep fall upon my eyes,
and upon my eyelids.
O Blessed One,
Let me lie down in peace,
and rise in peace.
Into Your hand I entrust my spirit.

(Adapted from a Jewish prayer)


Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

I thank Thee, my Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son,
that Thou hast kept me this night from all harm and danger;
and I pray Thee to keep me this day also from sin and all evil,
that all my doings and life may please Thee.
For into Thy hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things.
Let Thy holy angel be with me,
that the Wicked Foe may have no power over me.
Amen.

Taken from "The Small Catechism" by Martin Luther (1483-1546)
