Day 1 Prayer
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Intro Prayer
Glorious St Brendan, who during thy mortal course here on earth placed all thy glory in the annihilation of thyself before Him for whose glory and at whose call you forsook all things, thy country as well as thy people and thy father’s house, look down now from Heaven with our Lord, Whom thou didst ardently love whilst in this land of danger and sorrow, and forget not the charge thou didst receive when I, thine unworthy client, was committed to thy care, and received thee as patron, protector and advocate with Him, Who is so much outraged by my infidelity and imperfection.
Animated with firm hope in that charity which consumed thee in the service of thy neighbor, I confidently look up to thee now, where charity is perfect, and implore thee to use thy powerful intercession with thy Creator to obtain for me that succor which I so much need to run faithfully the course on which I have entered.
O most compassionate Father, behold the barrenness of this garden of my soul, notwithstanding the care the divine husbandman takes to render it fruitful.
Let that charity and compassion for the miserable which consumed thee here be excited towards me, who groan under the slavery of my evil habits.
Come then, O holy St Brendan, and enable me to do violence to my perverse inclinations, and to pluck up those noxious weeds which disfigure the garden of my soul.
Plant and nurture there, I beseech thee, those fragrant flowers which will render to the Heavenly Bridegroom such an odor of sweetness as will constrain Him to make His abode there.
I most earnestly beseech thee to obtain for me in an especial manner the grace of (mention your request here…) together with the gift of final perseverance that I may for ever share with thee the reward promised to those who faithfully follow Christ.
Amen.
