PRAYER OF SAINT BRENDAN

Help me to journey

beyond the familiar and

into the unknown.

Give me the faith to leave

old ways and break fresh

ground with You.

Christ of the mysteries,

I trust You to be stronger

than each storm within me.

I will trust in the darkness

and know that my times,

even now, are in Your hand.

Tune my spirit to the music of

heaven, and somehow, make

my obedience count for You.
