Saint Patrick’s Prayer

April 2008  

Well-worn prayers offered for centuries by millions of believers are finding a way back into our modern prayer life. Enjoy this one as you practice “taking every thought captive to Christ.”

 “I arise today with the power of God to guide me,
The might of God to uphold me,
The wisdom of God to teach me,
The eye of God to watch over me,
The ear of God to hear me,
The word of God to give me speech,
 The hand of God to protect me,
The way of God to prevent me,
The shield of God to shelter me,
 The host of God to defend me:
Against the snares of devils,
Against the temptations of vices,
Against every man who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near, with few or with many.”
