March 17 - St. Patrick

"I arise today:

in the might of God for my piloting;
in the Power of God for my upholding;

in the Wisdom of God for my guidance;

in the Eye of God for my foresight;

in the Ear of God for my hearing;

in the Word of God for my utterance;

in the Hand of God for my guardianship;

in the Path of God for my precedence;

in the Shield of God for my protection;

in the Host of God for my salvation;

against snares of demons;

against allurements of vices;

against solicitations of nature;

against every person that wishes me ill, far and near;

alone and in a crowd."

-from The Lorcia of St. Patrick
