O Father who sought me
O Son who bought me
O Holy Spirit who taught me.
CELTIC PRAYER TO THE HOLY TRINITY
FROM DOUGLAS HYDE (EDITOR), RELIGIOUS SONGS OF CONNAUGHT, VOL. II (IRISH UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1972)
He alone loves the Creator perfectly who manifests a pure love for his neighbour.
ST BEDE THE VENERABLE
I implore thee to pray for me, that, as He has brought thee to heaven, so in due time He may take me to heaven also … I ask thee to gain for me those His seven great gifts, to dispose and excite my heart towards faith and virtue.
