A Prayer of St. Patrick

I establish myself today in
The power of God to guide me
The might of God to uphold me
The wisdom of God to teach me
The ear of God to hear me
The Word of God to speak to me
The hand of God to protect me
The way of God to lie before me
The shield of God to shelter me
The hosts [angels] of God to defend me

Christ with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ within me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ at my right
Christ at my left
Christ in breadth
Christ in length
Christ in height

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks to me
Christ in the ear of every man who hears me

Confident in Christ!
