https://www.dreamstime.com/ancient-celtic-cross-overlooking-achill-sound-mountain-background-situated-old-church-st-image126979165 Saint Patrick's Breastplate I bind unto myself today The strong name of the Trinity, The invocation of the same, The three in one and the one in three. I bind this day to me forever, By the power of Faith, Christ's Incarnation; His baptism in the Jordan River; His death on the cross for my salvation;  His bursting from the spiced tomb; His writing up the Heavenly way  His coming at the day of doom; I bind unto myself today. I bind them to myself the power The great love of the Cherubim; The sweet ‘well done’ in the judgment hour;  The sweet service of the Serafin, Confessors' Faith, Apostles’ word, The Patriarchs' prayers, the Prophets’ scrolls.

Prayer Suggestion | Lord God, our Father in heaven, we turn to you in these times when we are under so much stress and temptation. Let your light glow in our hearts to give us firmness, patience, and perseverance throughout the time of testing, no matter how long it lasts. Your hand can change everything. Your hand can shorten the time we must wait until your light shines out of the darkness of death and evil, until your light reveals your life to your children and to the whole world. You are our God and Father as you have promised, and remaining at your side, we look to you in faith and trust. You will bring about goodness, justice, and mercy as you have promised, and so fulfill your will. Amen.
