Greetings to all!
Appropriate for our reflection today is a portion of "St. Patrick's Breastplate,"
a traditional celtic "circling prayer" in which the worshiper surrounds
her(him)self with the presence of God, the Spirit, or Christ.
Christ to protect me today...
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 where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
(as found in Prayer From the Heart, edited by Richard Foster)
