Let not many of you become teachers, 
my sisters / brothers
knowing
that we will receive a greater danger of judgement. 

For we all stumble in many ways.

If somebody does not stumble in their speech
this would be the perfect person
able to ‘bridle’ the whole body too.

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
