FROM TODAY’S READING (3/18/2019)...
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 meek
God’ Word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s host to secure me,
against snares of devils,
against temptations of vices,
against inclinations of nature,
against everyone who will wish me ill,
afar and anear,
alone and in a crowd.”
Saint Patrick
Psalms 16:7-11 (NLT) I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
