This prayer, attributed to St Brendan, is one of profound trust in God. Brendan launches out into deep waters, in his fragile boat, leaving his homeland to journey to foreign lands. As we pray this prayer, let us be mindful of all those who are ‘letting go’ of what is familiar, and moving into the unknown. This prayer is for our Year 12 students.
Beyond these shores into the darkness
Beyond these shores this boat may sail
And if this is the way
Then there will be a path across this sea.
And if I sail beyond the farthest ocean
Or lose myself in the depths below
Wherever I may go
Your love surrounds me
For You have been before
Beyond these shores.
