★ A Celtic Prayer for Donating Blood
2008 July 12
I love the everyday-ness of Celtic prayers that can be found in collections like Carmina Gadelica (Alexander Carmichael) . When you have a Christian spirituality that has prayers for milking cows, for giving birth, for putting on the hot water, you’re in my world.
Today I donated blood. I thought it would be good to pray a Celtic prayer for the blood donation process. It went something like this, and I’d love for commenters to improve 
Pierced for our transgressions
You brought life to me and mine
May this piercing
bring life to others
for the sake of a healed world

Okay, I have no idea why I'm surprised, but this strikes me as incredibly beautiful.
