To the prayers of our Island Saints we commend you.
May God’s angels watch around you to protect you.
May the Holy Spirit guide and strengthen you for all that lies ahead.
May Christ Jesus befriend you with his compassion and peace.
Lord,
Be a bright flame before us.
Be a guiding star above us.
Be a smooth path beneath us.
Be a kindly shepherd behind us.
† And the blessing of God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Be with you always!
Go in the peace of Christ.
Thanks be to God.

We have received this Celtic blessing at the end of the Eucharistic liturgy in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin (Anglican), just before leaving Lindisfarne.
