(by Darrell Grizzle of Blog of the Grateful Bear via AnamTuras)

This Friday, Sept. 16th, is the feast day of Ninian of Galloway, Bishop, Missionary to Scotland (A.D. 430). You can read about this Celtic Christian, and see a picture of St. Ninian's Cave, [by clicking on this post's title link].

Prayer for the feast day of Ninian (traditional language):

O God, who by the preaching of thy blessed servant and bishop Ninian didst cause the light of the Gospel to shine in the land of Britain: Grant, we beseech thee, that, having his life and labors in remembrance, we may show forth our thankfulness by following the example of his zeal and patience; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
