Lady Brighid, Brighid of the Mantles,
Brighid of the healing waters,
your handmaid calls to you.
I ask for your soothing touch
Upon those hurt, wounded, battered.
I ask for your soothing waters
to calm the fires that still rage.
I ask for your protection
Upon those who search for our wounded.
I ask for strength
for those still trapped and frightened.
Help us loosen the chains of fear,
Help us begin the healing of our tribe.
Lady Morrigan,
Lady Sovereignty, Divine Tester!
One who hardly knows you,
And trembles to speak to you,
Asks, in the name of Brighid, that
you aid our leaders in their search for justice.
Guide them through these testing times,
Stay their hands against the innocent.
