Sialc ar gyfer ein cartrefi
Fel y daeth y Doethion i’r Stabl ym Methlehem, cartref dros dro’r Teulu Sanctaidd, gan ganfod ynd fendith amhisiadwy, felly mae’n draddodiadol inni weddïo am fendithion Duw ar ein cartrefi yn ystod wythnos Gŵyl yr Ystwyll ac ar drothwy’r Flwyddyn Newydd.
Er mwyn ein helpu i wneud hyn, caiff sialc ei fendithio – arwydd ein bod ni’n llwch y llawr, ond wedi’n galw i undeb â Christ.
Bendithia, O Dduw, y creadur hwn o sialc i’w wneud yn ddyrchafol inni. Caniatâ y bydd i ni sy’n ei ddefnyddio mewn ffydd, a chydag ef yn arysgrifio ar fynedfa ein cartrefi enwau dy Ddoethion bendigedig, Caspar, Melchior a Balthasar, trwy rinweddau Goleuni’r byd, drigo dan gysgod dy adain ac yn llannerch dy gariad holl ddyddiau’n bywyd; trwy’r un Iesu Grist ein Gwaredwr. Amen.
Rydyn ni’n defnyddio’r sialc i arysgrifio llythrennau, rhifau, seren a chroesau uwchlaw neu wrth ymyl ein trothwy. Mae’r rhifau yn nodi’r Flwyddyn Newydd, a’r llythrennau yw llythrennau cyntaf enwau’r Doethion a thalfyriad o’r erfyniad Lladin “Christus mansionem benedicat,” “Bendithied Crist y cartref hwn.”
Ewch â sialc gyda chi heddiw, a gweddïwch y geiriau byr hynny ar ôl arysgrifio’ch trothwy fel a ganlyn:
2 0 * C + M + B + 2 4

Hollalluog Dduw, a ysbrydolaist dy esgob Deiniol i gasglu o’i gwmpas gymuned o Gristnogion i gyd-fyw bywyd cytun; caniatâ i ni, sy’n anrhydeddu’r cof amdano, weithio i atgyfnerthu teulu dy Eglwys mewn ffydd, gobaith a chariad; trwy Iesu Grist ein Gwaredwr. Amen.

This Sunday and the week ahead...
Chalk for our homes
As the Magi came to the Stable in Bethlehem, the makeshift home of the Holy Family, and there found immeasurable blessing, so it is traditional for us to pray for God’s blessings on our homes during the week of the Festival of the Epiphany and on the threshold of the New Year.
To help us do this, chalk is blessed – a reminder that we are dust of the earth, but called to union with Christ.
Bless, O God, this creature chalk to render it edifying to us. Grant that we who use it in faith, and with it inscribe upon the entrance of our homes the names of your blessed Magi, Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, may, through the merits of the Light of world, forever abide under the shadow of your wing and in the shelter of your love; through the same Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
We use the chalk to inscribe letters, numbers, a star and crosses above or next to our doorway. The numbers mark the New Year, and the letters are the initials of the names of the Magi and are an abbreviation of the Latin invocation “Christus mansionem benedicat,” “May Christ bless this house.”
Take some chalk away with you today, and pray those brief words having inscribed the threshold as follows:
2 0 * C + M + B + 2 4
Plygain
The traditional Welsh service of Plygain, at which Evening Prayers are said and to which local volunteer choirs come to sing ancient Welsh Christmas carols, takes place at the Cathedral on Friday 19 January at 7.00pm.
