A Prayer of St. Columba

Delightful I think it to be
   in the bosom of an isle
      on the crest of a rock
         that I may see often
             the calm of the sea,
that I may pore on one of my books
   good for my soul,
a while kneeling for beloved heaven,
   a while at psalms,
       a while at meditating upon the
           Prince of Heaven.

This is the prayer on my heart and mind today. I love the heart of St. Columba. A prince in Ireland who devoted his life to his Jesus and to setting up monasteries and leading others in life with God. A beautiful man with a heart for God's beautiful creation and eyes set upon heaven. May my life look like this.
