Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick’s Breastplate
(Oración de Viajero de Saint Patrick)

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity.
Through a belief in the threeness,
Through a confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Trough the strength of Christ’s birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Trough the strength of his descent for the judgment of Doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of 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 faith of confessors,
In innocence of holy virgins, In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of 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 me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to save me,
From snare of devils,
From temptations of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and near,
Alone and in a multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against spells of enchantresses and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul.

Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me 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 when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity.
Through a belief in the threeness,
Through a confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

Bájense la canción "The Deer's Cry" de Rita Connolly. Esta es la parte culmine del musical Irlandés "The Pilgrim" y esta fundada en esta oración.



Ahora a la segunda parte, los invito a Talca a celebrar al Santo como corresponde a partir del viernes. Pololas y todo incluído, (los que quedamos). Diego, pudes venir a hablar Irlandés como antaño, trae a Martin y el porta estudio, seguro sacamos un éxito y nuestro primer disco de musica para tomar y música celta...
Father, ojalá pudiese venir, pero supongo que vera el parade que hacen en NY...
