St. Patrick

by Sandra Bennett
TCF

26 Oct
 ~ Samuel, because he comes when called ~

“I arise today, through the strength of heaven: 
Light of the sun, radiance of the moon. 
Splendor of fire, speed of lightning, 
Swiftness of wind, depth of sea,
Stability of earth and firmness of 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.
From the snares of devils, from temptation of vices, 
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and near, alone and in a multitude.”
 ~ Saint Patrick ~ 
This beautiful prayer by Saint Patrick was found on Por Amor Al Arte’s blog and speaks eloquently, don’t you agree? Please, keep us in your prayers.
Blessings ~ God ~ Jesus Christ ~ Holy Spirit ~

Grace and Peace,
Sandra

    Hi Deborah – so glad you enjoyed the prayer; it's a beauty. We're still in "holding" mode; we'll find out something next week.

    Hi Alice – I love that you enjoy the view; that's my goal in leaving the same view, different seasons photos in the header.

    Hi Jen – the view is always beautiful! We'll find out something next week; the waiting is horrid.

    Hi Diane – so glad it spoke to your heart as well and thank you for visiting Thistle Cove Farm. That pleases me SO very much.

    Hi Timi – thank you for your prayers!

    Hi Ron – so glad you enjoyed the prayer; it spoke to my heart in a very real way.

    Hi Cindy – it's the only way I'm going anywhere! -smile-

    Hi Paula – bless you for praying!

    Hi Marydon – your prayers mean the world to me, thank you.

    Hi Kathy – she does have a lovely blog and love the prayer also.

    Thanks I needed this today. I'm a faithful reader though I've never told you. And I too posted it so a needy soul can glean a blessing from it today.
