For Light

Lord grant me,
I pray Thee in the name of
Jesus Christ the son,
my God,
that love which knows no fall
so that my lamp may feel thy kindling touch
and know no quenching;
may burn for me
and for others may give light.
~ Prayer of Columbanus

from The Wisdom of the Celts, compiled by David Adam

And Happy Birthday to my mother, who gives Light to others.
