Green for St. Patrick's Day

Top, Cardigan, Skirt, Boots, Purse: Thrifted // Tights: ?? // Necklace: Shabby Apple // Bracelet: eBay

As I arise today,
may the strength of God pilot me,
the power of God uphold me,
the wisdom of God guide me.
May the eye of God look before me,
the ear of God hear me,
the word of God speak for me.
May the hand of God protect me,
the way of God lie before me,
the shield of God defend me,
the host of God save me.
May Christ shield me today.
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,
Christ when I stand,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Amen

-The 'Breast-Plate' Prayer of St. Patrick

Although I'm not a Catholic, I have always loved this prayer attributed to St. Patrick. Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope ya'll had a pinch-free day! My sister's baking up some traditional Irish soda bread for dinner and we're enjoying lots of Irish music, me while I get some work done on this week's statistics homework. Altogether, a loverly day!
