Prayer for Courage



The word Croí is the name of the prayer space at Corrymeela. A beautiful circular building
with a living room that burrows into the earth. The word ‘Croí’ is Irish for ‘heart’. It is
pronounced ‘Kree’.*


Courage comes from the heart
and we are always welcomed by God,
the Croí* (heart) of all being.

We bear witness to our faith,
knowing that we are called
to live lives of courage,
love and reconciliation
in the ordinary and extraordinary
moments of each day.

We bear witness, too, to our failures
and our complicity in the fractures of our world.

May we be courageous today.
May we learn today.
May we love today.
Amen.
