Today’s Celtic Lent thought gets us to think further about the names we use for God. It outlines in the past how ancient communities have taken certain attributes of God’s character and how these would often relate to the sins of the writer. For example, the writer naming God as ‘guiding light’ may have come from the writer feeling lost and not knowing what to do next.

the Celtic poem, Prayer, talks of God as; holy storyteller, holy scholar, silent one, and generous thunderous giver of gifts. Some amazing names and attribute of God there to focus on.

Throughout today, in my setting, I have asked myself what attributes of God resonate the most with myself at the moment. I have settled on ‘Rock like warrior of a hundred hosts … inspire me, lead me, fight for me, restore me’.
