Lorica of Saint Patrick

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
I believe in the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his decent for the Judgement of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cheribum in obedience to the Angels,
In the service of Archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In prayers of patriarchs,
In predictions of prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of Holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven,
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.

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 to me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's host to secure me
against the snares of devils,
Against temptations of vices,
Against inclinations of nature,
Against everyone who shall wish me ill,
afar and anear
alone and in a crowd.

I summon today all these powers between me and these evils
Against every cruel, merciless power
that may oppose my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of heathenry,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards
Against every knowledge that endagers man's
body and soul.

Christ to protect me today
against poison, against burning
against drowning, against wounding,
so that there may come abundance of reward.
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 where I lie, Christ where I sit,
Christ where I arise

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the
Trinity
Through belief in the Thrones,
Through confession of the Oneness
Towards the Creator.
Salvation is of the Lord
Salvation is of the Lord
Salvation is of Christ
May thy salvation, O Lord,
be ever with us.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and The Holy Spirit, Amen.
