Yes, and  I  will continue to rejoice,: 
for I know 
 that this will result in salvation for me
through your prayer
              and the provision of the spirit of Jesus Christ.
in accordance with the eager expectation
            and my hope. 
    (and) that that in no way will I be ashamed
        but with boldness
       as always and now
 Christ will be highly honoured  
     in my body
          either by (my life)
or by (my) death.

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
