Morning Prayer

From the Carmina Gadelica:

I will kindle my fire this morning 
In presence of the holy angels of heaven, 
In presence of Ariel of the loveliest form, 
In presence of Uriel of the myriad charms, 
Without malice, without jealousy, without envy,
Without fear, without terror
of any one under the sun, 
But the Holy Son of God to shield me.

May your joys be as bright as the morning, and your sorrows be merely shadows that fade in the sunlight of love. May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet, enough trials to keep you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to keep you going.
