Saint Patrick's Breastplate Prayer

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through the confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the Judgment Day.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In prayers of patriarchs,
In predictions of prophets,
In preaching of apostles,
In faith of confessors,
In innocence of holy virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me:
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of demons,
From temptations of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me abundance of reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness,
Of the Creator of Creation.

Saint Patrick

Ok, I am not Catholic, but I like some Catholic things. I know, technically being of Protestant mindset some say that I really should be wearing orange today, but I dig the green! I put a shamrock on my teenage son's face and sent him to school. My tennis shoes are green paisley, and my shirt is green. I gave Kermit a run for his money in my greenness today!

I am moved by the story/biography/testimony of Saint Patrick. He was completely missional in his mindset. Mark Driscoll talks about Saint Patrick on his blog, and I have to include the following because I just love the way those guys over at Big Idea Productions introduce children to the man behind all of the green:)

Hey, Denice!!!

You know, I could not think of a thing to write,
but I'm sending you a great big Hello!!!

My friend Denice - we have been friends since 9th grade - is visiting New Orleans this week. She is supposed to send me a postcard. Even though I am a Louisiana native, I have never been to New Orleans.

If I were to go to New Orleans, I would have to go on a diet beforehand because once there I would eat my way through the city. Commander's Palace is the first place that comes to mind. Cafe au lait and beignets at Cafe du Monde. Oyster po-boys!!!

Where is that postcard?
