Be Thou a bright light 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.

 
St. Columba, 6th century

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty,
my memory, my understanding and my whole will.
All that I have and cherish, you have given me.
I surrender it all to be guided by your will.
Your grace and love are wealth enough for me.
Give me these, Lord Jesus, I ask for nothing more.

 
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 16th century
