Prayer of St. Patrick – This is one of the prayers said to be said by St. Patrick. I also made this into a free printable! Also known as St. Patrick’s Breastplate.
Prayer of St. Patrick
Christ be with me, Christ within me
Christ behind me, Christ before me
Christ beside me, Christ to win me
Christ to comfort me 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 or stranger.
The Prayer of St. Patrick, also known as “St. Patrick’s Breastplate” or “Lorica of St. Patrick,” is a famous Christian prayer attributed to St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is a powerful invocation for protection and strength, often recited for spiritual defense against evil. The prayer is known for its vivid imagery and poetic language, affirming the believer’s trust in God’s presence and sovereignty over all creation. It is traditionally attributed to St. Patrick but may have been compiled later, drawing on his teachings and life. The prayer emphasizes the believer’s dependence on God for guidance and protection in all aspects of life.

The End of an Era: Redbox Shuts Down All Kiosks — In a move that marks the end of an era, Redbox, the iconic DVD rental service, is shutting down all of its kiosks. This decision comes as part of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation by its parent company, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment¹². For over two decades, Redbox has been a familiar sight at grocery stores, convenience stores, and Walmarts across the United States, offering a convenient way to rent movies and games. However, the rise of digital streaming services has significantly impacted the demand for physical media, leading to this unfortunate outcome. #Redbox
