Feast of St. Patrick (385 – 461)

From “The Breastplate of St. Patrick

“Christ shield me this day: 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 arise, Christ in the heart of every person who thinks of me, Christ in the eye that sees me, Christ in the ear that hears me…”

                                                            -St. Patrick

 

 

For Reflection: 

Considering this prayer of St. Patrick and in light of Ephesians 6: 11-17, what “armor” do I wear daily? How convinced am I that I need to wear the armor of God?
