Gracious God we give you thanks for the life and ministry of your servant Cilléne Droichtech, abbot of Iona, and pray that by your Spirit you will enable us to follow his example of seeking to protect the innocent, especially in times of war, through Jesus Christ our Lord who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
