Feast of St. Brendan

Reflection

“God’s spirit is the wind in my sails and will lead me wherever God wants me to go.”  ~ St. Brendan

Prayer of St. Brendan

Gracious God,

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. Amen.
