Therefore,
rather sisters /brothers
do your best
to confirm
your calling and election.
For doing these things
you will never ever stumble .
For in this way
an entrance
will be richly provided for you
into the eternal kingdom
of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.

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
