The Breastplate Prayer

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.

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 when I arise,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.

~Saint Patrick

 Today we talked about Saint Patrick and how he went back to the same people who had kidnapped him and enslaved him to share God's love with them.  He was Christ in the eyes of those that knew him and he lived his life with the perspective of God's eye going before him.  These are the God's Eyes that the children made today.
