1 Corinthians 10 1-6


For I do not want you to live in ignorance,
brothers/ sisters:
all our ancestors
were under the cloud
and all went through the sea,
and all were baptized into Moses
in the cloud and in the sea.
and all ate the same spiritual food
and all drank the same spiritual drink.
For they were drinking the spiritual following rock,
and the rock was Christ.

Nevertheless, with the majority of them
God was not pleased
for their bodies were scattered in the desert.
Now these things occurred as a pattern of us,
so that we are not people who desire evil things
as they desired evil things…

Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me
Be thou a smooth path below me
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me
Today – tonight -forever
Amen.

St Columba
