a prayer of St Columba of Iona

Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, to me, the least of saints, to me allow that I may keep a door in

Paradise. That I may keep even the small door, the farthest, darkest, coldest door, the door that is least

used, the stiffest door, if so it be in thine house, O God, if so it be that I can see thy glory even afar, and

hear thy voice, and know that I am with thee, O God. Amen.
