“Lorica of Saint Patrick: prayer for divine protection”

Dear Brothers and Sisters, let us pray together the prayer of Saint Patrick.

Christ, protect me!

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,

I arise today, through
God’s strength to pilot me,
God’s might to uphold me,

Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,

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, protect me.
