An Early Welsh Prayer

Almighty Creator, it is you who made the
land and the sea...
The world cannot comprehend in song
bright and melodious, even though all the
grass and trees should sing all your
wonders, O true Lord!
The Father created the world by a miracle;
It is difficult to express its measure.
Clear and High and in perfect assembly, let
us praise above the nine orders of angels
the sublime and blessed Trinity.

Amen

A Prayer for this Parish

Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for St. Benedict's parish family.  Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent.  Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
      Amen.
