God is in every aspect of our lives; this is a teaching that today’s prayer to the Saint reminds us of. Pray it mindfully, paying attention to each phrase.
The Breastplate of Saint Patrick
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ within me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit,
Christ when I rise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit,
Christ when I rise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
