Saint Patrick's Breastplate
Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

Let us pray to Saint Patrick for the the government of Ireland and the conversion of the people of Ireland that they will turn back to the Lord and end abortion. Let us pray for the government of the United States and the conversion of the people of the United States and all countries from a culture of death to a culture of life. Let us ask Saint Patrick to give us his missionary spirit to "speak the truth in love" to those we encounter and bring them the Love of Jesus. Let us pray for those who are enslaved, persecuted and marginalized in our world today and for all those who are most vulnerable, especially the unborn.
"May the strength of God pilot us, may the wisdom of God instruct us, may the hand of God protect us, may the Word of God direct us. Be always ours this day and forever more." Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick, courageous missionary, teach us to speak the truth in love as you did and pray for us and all families for whom we pray.
