The Pilgrim's Path (Clonmacnoise, Ireland)
St Patrick was a great evangelist, because he spoke the language of the people he served.
(a non-trinitarian adaptation of the prayer traditionally attributed to him.)
I arise today Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.
I arise today Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's hand to guard me.
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding:
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ in me.
I arise today Through the mighty strength Of the Lord of Creation.
Amen.
Happy St Patrick's Day.
Thanks. I needed to breath in this prayer again. I have it in my book by Esther De Waal,the Celtic Way of Prayer
