\"\"Saint Patrick, unknown, 1630’s, Augustinian priory of Corpus Christia, Krak\u00f3w, Poland<\/em><\/p>\n

I arise today
\nThrough a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
\nThrough belief in the Threeness,
\nThrough confession of the Oneness
\nof the Creator of creation.
\nI arise today
\nThrough the strength of Christ’s birth with His baptism,
\nThrough the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
\nThrough the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
\nThrough the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
\nI arise today
\nThrough the strength of the love of cherubim,
\nIn the obedience of angels,
\nIn the service of archangels,
\nIn the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
\nIn the prayers of patriarchs,
\nIn the predictions of prophets,
\nIn the preaching of apostles,
\nIn the faith of confessors,
\nIn the innocence of holy virgins,
\nIn the deeds of righteous men.
\nI arise today, through
\nThe strength of heaven,
\nThe light of the sun,
\nThe radiance of the moon,
\nThe splendor of fire,
\nThe speed of lightning,
\nThe swiftness of wind,
\nThe depth of the sea,
\nThe stability of the earth,
\nThe firmness of rock.
\nI arise today, through
\nGod’s strength to pilot me,
\nGod’s might to uphold me,
\nGod’s wisdom to guide me,
\nGod’s eye to look before me,
\nGod’s ear to hear me,
\nGod’s word to speak for me,
\nGod’s hand to guard me,
\nGod’s shield to protect me,
\nGod’s host to save me
\nFrom snares of devils,
\nFrom temptation of vices,
\nFrom everyone who shall wish me ill,
\nafar and near.
\nI summon today
\nAll these powers between me and those evils,
\nAgainst every cruel and merciless power
\nthat may oppose my body and soul,
\nAgainst incantations of false prophets,
\nAgainst black laws of pagandom,
\nAgainst false laws of heretics,
\nAgainst craft of idolatry,
\nAgainst spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
\nAgainst every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul;
\nChrist to shield me today
\nAgainst poison, against burning,
\nAgainst drowning, against wounding,
\nSo that there may come to me an abundance of reward.
\nChrist with me,
\nChrist before me,
\nChrist behind me,
\nChrist in me,
\nChrist beneath me,
\nChrist above me,
\nChrist on my right,
\nChrist on my left,
\nChrist when I lie down,
\nChrist when I sit down,
\nChrist when I arise,
\nChrist in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
\nChrist in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
\nChrist in every eye that sees me,
\nChrist in every ear that hears me.
\nI arise today
\nThrough a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
\nThrough belief in the Threeness,
\nThrough confession of the Oneness
\nof the Creator of creation.<\/p>\n
