Brigid, you were a woman of peace. You brought harmony where there was conflict. You brought light to the darkness. You brought hope to the downcast. May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled or anxious, and may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and our world. Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all that God has made. Brigid, you were a voice for the wounded and the weary. Strengthen what is weak within us. Calm us into a quietness that heals and lis tens. May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind, body and spirit. Muire na nGael guí orainn go léir. Amen.
