Be With Me

Thursday, March 18, 2021


My sister Maddie shared with our family the St. Patrick's Breastplate Prayer.


Yesterday, I shared the St. Patrick "Christ be with me" prayer.


That prayer is part of the St. Patrick's Breastplate Prayer.


It is a beautiful prayer and I encourage you to read all of it.


I wanted to share the first stanza and last stanza with you today.


St. Patrick Breastplate Prayer


I bind unto myself today

The strong Name of the Trinity,

By invocation of the same,

The Three in One and One in Three.

I bind unto myself the Name,

The strong Name of the Trinity;

By invocation of the same.

The Three in One, and One in Three,

Of Whom all nature hath creation,

Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:

Praise to the Lord of my salvation,

Salvation is of Christ the Lord.


This is a powerful prayer!


"I bind unto myself today." St. Patrick


To whom and to what do I bind myself to?


This is a choice we make everyday.


Christ be with me,


In the Name of the Trinity,


Father, Son and Holy Spirit!


Amen.


St. Patrick Breastplate Prayer, in full glory:
