Prayer
Lord God, inspire us by the example of your servant St. Ciaran of Clonmacnoise whose feast we celebrate today. Responding to your call, St. Ciaran founded a monastery that would become one of the most important centers for learning and religious life in Ireland. Guide our steps that they may always lead us to you and guide our hearts that, like St. Ciaran, we might always respond to the call to do your will in our lives. In your name, we pray. Amen.
