The Prayer of St. Patrick
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the 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 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
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding
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 when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.

IRELAND AND HER PEOPLE
“LAND OF PRISTINE LAKES,VERDANT VALLEYS AND PASTORAL COUNTRY SIDE.
SEA SWEPT COASTLINES,CLIFFS THAT CLIMB UP AND SKYWARD FROM THE OCEAN WAVES.
SUN THAT WARMS BOTH HEART AND SUMMER AIR,CASTING LONG SHADOWS UPON THE MIST THAT LINGERS IN THE SWEET MEADOW.
MUSIC THAT DELIGHTS THE EAR,WHILE SETTINGS ONE’S HEART A-FLUTTER.
“DANNY BOY” NOT JUST A SONG,BUT A NATIONS “ANTHEM”
BRILLIANT MINDS,SCHOLARS,POETS,PLAYWRIGHT,AUTHORS AND MEN
OF LETTERS.GREAT UNIVERSITIES AND HALLS OF LEARNING.
GREAT STATESMAN AND PARLIMANTARIANS.
ST.PATRICK HER HOLY PATRON.
THE HARSH FAMINES THAT GAVE WAY TO THE TIDAL WAVE OF IMMIGRATION THAT NEVER DIMINISHED THE IRISH SPIRIT AND GIFT OF LAUGHTER OF HER PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED RESOURCE AND TALENT TO THEIR NEWLY ADOPTED HOME-LANDS.
