Buddhist chant from Plum Village, France.
Breathing in, breathing out,
Breathing in, breathing out,
I am blooming as a flower,
I am fresh as the dew.
I am solid as a mountain,
I am firm as the earth,
I am free.
Breathing in, breathing out,
Breathing in, breathing out,
I am water reflecting,
What is real, what is true.
And I feel there is space,
Deep inside of me,
I am free, I am free, I am free.

attributed: Ultán of Árd-mBreccáin (St. Ultan of Ardbraccan) was the maternal uncle of St. Brigid, and collected a life of that great Irish saint for his pupil, St. Brogan Cloen of Rostuirc, on Ossory. There seems to be some difficulty in his chronology inasmuch as the assumption of his relation to St. Brigid must involve an extraordinary longevity, namely 180 years, because his death is not chronicled till 657. Windisch, however, explains away the seeming inconsistency. The Irish Annals describe St. Ultan as of the royal race of O'Connor, and he succeeded St. Breccan as Abbot-Bishop of Ardbraccan about the year 570. From O'Clery's "Irish Calendar" we learn that he educated and fed thousands of poor students from all parts of Ireland. Of his literary powers there are several specimens, among others, lives of St. Patrick and St. Brigid. His exquisite Latin hymn of the latter saint, commencing "Christus in nostra insula", is incorporated in the Solesmes Chant books. The exact year of his death is uncertain, the various annalists giving 653, 656, 657, and 662, but probably we are safe in following the "Annals of Ulster", wherein his obit is recorded under the year 657. He died on 4 September, on which day his feast has always been celebrated. St. Ultan's Well is still at Ardbraccan.
Brigit, ever good woman
a sparkling golden flame
may she lead us to the eternal realm
the shining bright sun
Save us Brigit
from hordes of demons
may she win for us
battles of every hardship
Destroy within us
the sins of our flesh
The branch with flowers
The mother of Jesus
Beloves pure virgin
of great honour which vanquishes
I will all-times be free
with my Leinster saint
Half pillar of the kingdom
with supreme Patrick
a beauty beyond splendours
the noble royal queen
May after old age our bodies be in coarse-cloth
may she rain her grace upon us
Save us, Brighid.
