PRAYER FOR VICTORY
I BATHE my face
In the nine rays of the sun,
As Mary bathed her Son
In the rich fermented milk.
Honey be in my mouth.
Affection be in my face ;
The love that Mary gave her Son
Be in the heart of all ffesh for me.
All-seeing, all-hearing, all-inspiring may God be,
To satisfy and to strengthen me ;
Blind, deaf, and dumb, ever, ever be
My contemners and my mockers.
The tongue of Columba in my head.
The eloquence of Columba in my speech ;
The composure of the Victorious Son of grace
Be mine in presence of the multitude.
