03 November: St Winefride

Today is the feast of St Winefride, a Welsh saint from the 6th or 7th century.

The intercessions for morning prayers (via Universalis) is fitting for the start of an architectural pilgrimage:

We pray for all who plan and build in our cities: give them respect for every human value. - Lord, help us as we work.

Pour it your Spirit on artists, craftsmen, and musicians: may their work bring variety, joy, and inspiration to our lives. - Lord, help us as we work.

Be with us as the cornerstone of all that we build: for we can do nothing without your aid. - Lord, help us as we work.

You have created us anew in the resurrection of your son: give us the strength to create a new life, and a new world - Lord, help us as we work.
