As I arise today, may the strength of God pilot me,
the power of God uphold me,
the wisdom of God guide me.
May the eye of God look before me,
the ear of God hear me,
the word of God speak to me.
May the hand of God protect me,
the way of God lie before me,
the shield of God defend me,
the host of God save me...
Christ when I sit,
Christ when I stand,
Christ in the heart of everyone 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.
Amen.
This is a portion of a prayer from St. Patrick...I think it is a beautiful prayer and more than appropriate for today. "I-rish" you all a very happy and blest St. Patrick's Day!
