The Prayer of St. Patrick

I arise today

Through God's strength to pilot me;

God's might to uphold me,

God's wisdom to guide me,

God's eye to look before me,

God's ear to hear me,

God's word to speak for me,

God's hand to guard me,

God's way to lie before me,

God's shield to protect me,

God's hosts to save me

From snares of the devil,

From temptations of vices,

From every one who desires me ill,

Afar and anear, 

Alone or in a multitude. 

 --The Prayer of St. Patrick, excerpt

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!
