Columba of Iona

O God, you called your servant Columba
from among the princes of this land
to be a herald and evanglist of your kingdom:
Grant that your Church, remembering his faith and courage,
may so proclaim the splendour of your grace
that people everywhere will come to know your Son
as their Saviour, and serve him as their king;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Book of Common Prayer, Church of Ireland

O God, by the preaching of your blessed servant Columba
you caused the light of the Gospel to shine in Scotland:
Grant, we pray, that, having his life and labors in remembrance,
we may show our thankfulness to you by following the example
of his zeal and patience; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Lesser Feasts and Fasts, TEC

Almighty God,
who filled the heart of Columba
with the joy of the Holy Spirit
and with deep love for those in his care:
May your pilgrim people follow him,
storng in faith, sustained by hope,
and one in the love that binds us to you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Daily Prayer, Church of England
