This week’s Intention: Unbelievers
St. Patrick’s Breastplate:
Christ be with me, Christ be within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort me and restore me. Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend or stranger.
