An old Knight’s prayer
July 4, 2009
A friend recently sent me this this prayer, it was a prayer often said by medieval Knights. However, I think it is still applicable today, and thought I would share it with you as well.
My Lord, I stand ready on the threshold of this new day, to go forth, armed with thy power, seeking adventure on the high road, to right wrong, to overcome evil, to suffer wounds and endure pain if need be, but in all things, to serve thee bravely, faithfully, joyfully, that at the end of the day’s labor, kneeling for thy blessing, thou mayest find no blot upon my shield. This I ask through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who livest and reignest with God the Father, in union with the Holy Ghost, for all ages of ages. Amen.
