Collect for
the Feast of St. Brigid of Ireland in Old English liturgical books: "O
Creator and Governor of the heavens and the earthly regions, almighty
God, in Thy fatherly love help Thy people praying to Thee: and grant
that we who carry out the solemn feast of this day in honour of the
holy Brigid may by her interceding prayers inherit the glory which hath
no end. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth
with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God through all the ages of
ages. Amen."
