Prayer to Saint Alcuin of York

Portrait of Saint Alcuin of York, early medieval scholar and teacher.

O Blessed Alcuin,
teacher of truth, and servant of the Word,

you formed minds, guarded doctrine,
and lit the lamp of Christ in a dark age.

Help us to love what is true, to speak with clarity,
and to seek wisdom without pride.

Pray for us,
so that through study,
prayer, and silence,
we may walk in the light that does not fade.

Amen.
