Prayer of St. Aidan of Lindesfarne

Leave me alone with God as much as may be. As the tide draws the waters close in upon the shore, Make me an island, set apart, Alone with you, God, holy to you.

Then with the turning of the tide Prepare me to carry your presence to the busy world beyond, The world that rushes in on me, Till the waters come again and fold me back to you.

Prayer to St. Aidan of Lindesfarne

O holy Bishop Aidan, Apostle of the North and light of the Celtic Church, glorious in humility, noble in poverty, zealous monk and loving missionary, intercede for us sinners that Christ our God may have mercy on our souls.

Thou didst teach and preserve Christ’s doctrine and didst spread the faith throughout Northumbria, O holy Aidan. Unceasingly pray to God for us for thou dost worship before His throne for ever. Amen.
