Take a few minutes of your quarantine—sit down with the Maker of the Universe—your Heavenly Father and Best Friend—and chat. You never know what might come of it.

Here is St. Patrick’s ‘Prayer of the Day’. Albeit a few weeks late, God is always listening.

Let’s pray…

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 the sea 
Stability of earth 
Firmness of rock 

I arise today 
Through Gods strength to pilot me
Gods eye to look before me 
Gods wisdom to guide me 
Gods way to lie before me 
Gods shield to protect me 
From all who shall wish me ill 
Afar and anear 
Alone and in a multitude 
Against every cruel 
Merciless power 
That may oppose my body and soul 

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 to shield me 
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, 
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me 
I arise today.

So be it.
