Day 12 - The Northumbria Community

The Northumbria Community describes itself as: Inspired by, drawing from, and living in the spiritual tradition of monasticism, the Community is... rooted in the history and spiritual heritage of Celtic Northumbria. Their daily rythms of prayer contain deep spiritual truths, try this one out today:

Northumbria Canticle

Christ, as a light,
illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield,
overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.
