"For the first showings of the morning light

and the emerging outline of the day

thanks be to you, O God.

For earth's colours drawn forth by the sun

its brilliance piercing clouds of darkness

and shimmering through leaves and flowing waters

thanks be to you.

Show to me this day 

amidst life's dark streaks of wrong and suffering

the light that endures in every person.

Dispel the confusions that cling close to my soul

that I may see with eyes washed by your grace

that I may see myself and all people 

with eyes cleansed by the freshness of the new day's light."

- Celtic Benediction by J. Philip Newell
