Somewhere between feelings and intellect prayers may be born.
Holy Island is a meditative reflection offered for personal and community use.

Holy Island
Our Father in heaven
The divine image beckons
Hallowed be your name
This place is sacred ground
Your kingdom come
Generous lives reveal love’s name
Your will be done
Through meeting minds, steady hearts
On earth as in heaven
Spirit and body becoming one
Give us today our daily bread
Love blesses life, knowing earth provides
Forgive us our sins
Restoring our being
As we forgive those who sin against us
For justice, forgiveness, to prevail
Save us from the time of trial
Preventing chaos that would lead to hell
And deliver us from evil
Defeating pain’s despair
For the kingdom, the power and glory are yours
Hope now with reason to serve, all due is given
Now and for ever
Eternity here, always before
Amen
Holy Island was written as a response to days spent at Lindisfarne in 2007.
