The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered. “Who is this?” they asked. And the crowds replied, “It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

A Celtic Prayer – from St Columba
Alone with none but you, my God,
I journey on my way.
What need I fear, when you are near,
O King of night and day?
More safe am I within your hand
Than if a host did round me stand.
My life I yield to your command,
And bow to your control,
In peaceful calm, for from your arm
No power can snatch my soul.
Could earthly foes ever appal
A soul that heeds the heavenly call?
Amen.

A Celtic Prayer
High King of Heaven and Creator of all
We your people confess our weakness before you.
Where you are humble and free of sin – we are proud and sinful.
Where you are strong and firm – we are arrogant and boastful.
Because of our weakness, the world is suffering.
Have mercy O LORD our God
In Jesus’ name we can but ask.
Amen.
