I haven’t been as constant as I would like to be with the use of my prayer beads. I can be hard on myself when I do so, but the best thing to do is to get back to it and begin again. I realize this issue can happen in the future, so I figured having a prayer might help in the chance that I’ll slip up once more. The structure is somewhat based on the Smooring the Fire prayer found in the Carmina Gadelica. The Sacred Three would’ve referred to the Trinity in the original intent of the prayer, but in this case, the term refers to the three Brighid sisters.

Prayer for Constancy

The Sacred Three,

aid me,

to acknowledge,

to forgive,

to restore,

the heart,

the soul,

the body

This eve,

This night,

Oh! this eve,

This night

And every night.

Each single night.

As it was, as it is, as it ever shall be.
