You, a prayerful conversation

I Bind to Myself Today

· 12 Jan 2007, Friday 10 pm · Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, pray for us

I bind to myself today:
God’s power to guide me,
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to teach me,
God’s eye to watch over me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to give me speech,
God’s hand to guide me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to shelter me,
God’s host to secure me.

— St. Patrick, portion of his Breastplate
