š St. Patrickās Breastplate: A Prayer of Protection and Power š
As St. Patrickās Day approaches, we often celebrate with shamrocks and green festivities, but thereās a deeper spiritual gem worth exploring: *St. Patrickās Breastplate*, also known as *The Lorica of St. Patrick*. This ancient Christian prayer, attributed to St. Patrick, is a powerful invocation of Godās protection, strength, and presenceāa spiritual shield for lifeās challenges.
### The Origins of the Prayer
Legend holds that St. Patrick composed this prayer in 433 AD as he journeyed to confront Irelandās pagan chieftains, spreading the Christian faith. Facing danger, he prayed for divine protection, symbolically armoring himself against physical and spiritual threats. Known as a "lorica" (a prayer for safeguarding), itās said to have miraculously cloaked Patrick and his companions, causing their enemies to see only deer passing byāhence its alternate name, *The Deerās Cry*.
### Why āBreastplateā?
The term "breastplate" symbolizes armor that protects the heart and vital organs. Spiritually, this prayer serves as a shield, guarding the soul against fear, doubt, and evil. Its themesātrust in the Trinity, the power of Christās life, and the beauty of creationāmake it a timeless source of courage.
### The Prayer: A Spiritual Shield
Below is an excerpt from the prayer, capturing its essence:
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascensionā¦
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 ariseā¦
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation.
### Why Pray It Today?
In our modern world, we may not face the same dangers as St. Patrick, but we encounter spiritual, emotional, and mental battles daily. This prayer offers:
- Protection from fear, anxiety, or negativity.
- Strength to face uncertainties or struggles.
- Connection to Godās presence in every moment.
### How to Use the Prayer
You donāt need to be Irish to find inspiration in its words. Try:
1. Morning Devotion: Recite it to start your day with courage.
2. Meditation: Reflect on each line, visualizing divine protection.
3. Creative Expression: Listen to musical versions, like the hymn āI Bind Unto Myself Today.ā
### A Prayer for All Seasons
St. Patrickās Breastplate is more than a historical relicāitās a living prayer, reminding us that faith is our ultimate defense. This St. Patrickās Day, may we āarise todayā with trust, strength, and the assurance that we are never alone.

Today is the First Day of Fall! That means cooler temperatures, a crispness in the air, leaves changing color, pumpkins, turkey, thankfulness and evenings by the fire. May this "original" composition bring you peace, calm and relaxation as you transition into a new Season. Blessings to you my friends!
