March 17: Breastplate of St Patrick
--------
St Patrick was one of the greatest evangelists in history.
His work changed the history of Ireland--and the world.
Along the way he received countless death threats.
This prayer was his shield of protection

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