This is an abreviated version of a prayer attributed to St. Patrick (St. Patrick's Breastplate):

• I arise today
• Through the strength of heaven
• Light of the sun
• Splendor of fire
• Swiftness of wind
• Depth of the sea
• Stability of earth
• Firmness of rock
• I arise today
• Through God's strength to pilot me
• God's might to uphold me
• God's wisdom to guide me
• God’s hand to guard me
• Afar or near
• Alone or in a multitude
• Christ shield me today against wounding
• Christ with me
• Christ before me
• Christ behind me
• Christ on my right
• Christ on my left
• Christ beneath me
• Christ above me
• Christ in me
• I arise today
• Through the mighty strength
• Of the Lord of Creation
