Worship Notes
This morning we will worship according to Morning Liturgy D, in the Wee Worship Book, in its fourth incarnation by the Wild Goose Worship Group of the Iona Community, with regard to which the following is stated:
In the Western Highlands and Islands of Scotland, prayer in the ancient Celtic tradition was on the verge of disappearing when Alexander Carmichael gathered prayers, songs and sayings from country folk and published them in CARMINA GADELICA (SONGS OF THE GAELS) at the end of the 19th century.
This liturgy uses material from that collection of fragments. What is of special interest is that few, if any, of these prayers came from ministers or priests. They were shared in families through the centuries by people who lived often without the benefit of clergy, yet believed deeply and prayed reverently.
