First Friday of Lent - Daily Reflections

First Friday of Lent - Mar. 2nd 2001

May I speak this day to Thy justice,
Each day may I show Thy chastening, O God
May I speak each day according to Thy wisdom,
Each day & night may I be at peace with Thee
..Each day may I count the causes of Thy sorrows,
May I each day give heed to Thy laws.
Each day may I compose to Thee a song,
May I harp each day Thy praise.
.May I each day give love to Thee, Jesu,
Each night may I do the same.
Each day and night, dark and light,
May I laud Thy goodness to me, O God.

"DESIRES" by Anthony Duncan from ' A Little Book of Celtic Prayer'.

Circle of Prayer

A Circle of Prayer around the world praying for and with each other, for peace and for a world in crisis. Please read more about it and perhaps join us, prayer was never more needed than it is in these times!
Holy Souls Crusade

Praying all year round for the souls of our deceased relatives and friends, for the souls of those most in need of prayer and for those souls in purgatory who have nobody to pray for them.
Moytura has several other sites with a 'Christian flavour'. As part of the 'Journey' section of the website join me to learn a little of the Early Christian Church in Ireland by visiting Clonmacnoise, started by St. Ciaran on the banks of the River Shannon in the 6th. Century.

Read about Saint Brendan the Navigator who started a Monastic settlement in the tiny village of Clonfert on the Galway/Offaly/Tipperary border, again in the 6th century.
Travel on my journeys to two of Canada's most famous Catholic Shrines -
Saint Anne de Beaupré and Cap de la Madeleine, both on the shores of the Saint Lawrence river in Quebec. Finally
I welcome you to come with me to see a little of Medugorje, a peaceful haven in a war-torn country - Bosnia Herzogonia.
On a much lighter note we have a full section called Prayerful Thoughts & Thoughtful Prayers

Please also pay a visit to Moytura's Irish Bookshop where you can find books on the history of
Christianity in Ireland, Irish Prayers and Celtic Christianity

Below are some of the other areas of Moytura's web site.
