As\u00a0can be seen, posting has been light over the last few weeks.\u00a0 Again, there are many things going on right now, especially with family concerns,\u00a0that demand my attention.\u00a0 This has made it difficult to process things and take time to look things over.\u00a0 Much less post anything that may be worth reading (or writing for that matter).\u00a0 Hopefully things will slow down in the next few weeks.\u00a0 But to those who keep stopping by, thanks.\u00a0 Keep on coming back, and soon enough I\u2019ll have things up and running.\u00a0 In the meantime, have a blessed and joyful St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebration \u2013 or as Catholics like to say, the Feast of Saint Patrick \u2013\u00a0remembering that he actually was a real, bona fide<\/em>, honest to goodness Catholic saint, not just a poster boy for partying with green beer!\u00a0 <\/p>\n

St. Patrick\u2019s Breast-plate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three. <\/span><\/p>\n

I bind this day to me for ever,
By power of faith, Christ\u2019s Incarnation;
His baptism in the Jordan River;
His death on cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spic\u00e8d tomb;
His riding up the heavenly way;
His coming at the day of doom;
I bind unto myself today. <\/p>\n

I bind unto myself the power
Of the great love of the Cherubim;
The sweet \u2018Well done\u2019 in judgment hour;
The service of the Seraphim,
Confessors\u2019 faith, Apostles\u2019 word,
The Patriarchs\u2019 prayers, the Prophets\u2019 scrolls,
All good deeds done unto the Lord,
And purity of virgin souls. <\/p>\n

I bind unto myself today
The virtues of the starlit heaven,
The glorious sun\u2019s life-giving ray,
The whiteness of the moon at even,
The flashing of the lightning free,
The whirling wind\u2019s tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the deep salt sea,
Around the old eternal rocks.<\/p>\n

I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, his shield to ward,
The word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard. <\/p>\n

Against the demon snares of sin,
The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile men that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In every place and in all hours
Against their fierce hostility,
I bind to me these holy powers. <\/p>\n

Against all Satan\u2019s spells and wiles,
Against false words of heresy,
Against the knowledge that defiles,
Against the heart\u2019s idolatry,
Against the wizard\u2019s evil craft,
Against the death-wound and the burning
The choking wave and the poisoned shaft,
Protect me, Christ, till thy returning. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same.
The Three in One, and One in Three,
Of whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
salvation is of Christ the Lord. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
