From “The Breastplate of St. Patrick”
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.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. May the the Spirit of the living God that Patrick served fill you with God’s grace and love today.
And may your Guinness be cold. 🙂
