On seeking God's protection

I will kindle my fire this morning 

In presence of the holy angels of heaven, 

Without malice, without jealousy, without envy, 

Without fear, without terror of any one under the sun, 

But the Holy Son of God to shield me. 

Without malice, without jealousy, without envy, 

Without fear, without terror of any one under the sun 

But the Holy Son of God to shield me. 

- an old Celtic prayer The Blessing of the Kindling, which closed my talk on seeking God's protection, which also embraced a discussion of Colgate Toothpaste for Complete Dental Protection, Lifebuoy soap, various shampoos, and Cif Power Cream.
