Orphir and Stenness Church

Blessing:

May the Spirit of the Living God,

Made known to us most fully within life's Dark Wood:

Go before you to show you the way;

Go above you to watch over you;

Go behind you to push you into places you may not

necessarily go yourself;

Go beneath you to uphold and uplift you;

Go beside you to be your strong and constant companion;

And dwell within you to remind you that you are surely not alone,

And that you are loved – loved beyond your wildest imagination.

And may the fire of God's blessing burn brightly

Upon you, and within you,

Now and always.  Amen.

— Eric Elnes in Gifts of the Dark Wood
