Prayer of Saint Patrick

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 think of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speak of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.

AMEN.

Ministers of God and their people by Rev Fr Benjamin Anthony

Ministers of God and their Community by Rev Fr Benjamin Anthony. Today's readings are talking about the cost of being in Christ and responding to God's call to be a minister. Reading mostly emphasizes you in the account of the grace to persevere on Making God's call a foundation of total dependence on God no matter any rejection. According to the Gospel of Mark 6:4; that says that " A prophet is respected everywhere except in his town and by his relative and his family". And this typically runs on the main team of today's readings. This very rejection started from Jesus Christ himself who is the root of all ministers. Jesus, the son of God passed many rejections and many insults, mostly in his hometown. And to this, we should not be surprised when things alike happen to us for it's part of the call. But note this; Jesus Christ could not perform miracles in his hometown as he did in other towns, tribes, and countries. For this, when king. Herod wanted to t...

Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit

Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit. Edited by Raphael Arinze Sometimes, I always ponder why those who are called Christians always behave like pegans; like unbelievers. What is happening? And what could be the cause? When Christians are supposed to be the light to the whole, salts of the earth....., As Jesus Christ put it for us. Despite all the provisions and equipment, made available in a spiritual realm to keep us going, no matter any circumstances and derived demand to traits our minds back forward. Our live as Christians don't align with the demands of a Christian call. Let us face it. Christians are made to always represent Christ all places in everywhere as the case maybe. Why do we often fail? when we always read the Bible and go to church as we practice. The Spirit of God is always in us, and for it to be active in our lives; God bestows His Spirit upon his Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ so that we can bost ...

Let the word of God dwell in you by Raphael Arinze

Let the word of God dwell in you. Edited by Raphael Arinze . I'm sharing this article to you to encourage you to keep faith in God as you journey in life. Life is not all that easy, in any way it's not ours; not our home. Many things have been occupied our minds in purpose of being worried how yesterday gives credits to us, how today is benefiting us, and how tomorrow will be to us. Is what we eat, wear, live in nor have extra to keep? Our lives, sometimes, give us some certain question when we all desire better than what it present. So many times, we go here and there due to our lack of materialism. But, I want to tell you that life itself is an unmerited gift from God. He alone knows what and how tomorrow will be. He is the author, alpha and Omega. He is to be followed in any course of our lives. Focusing on God is the only way to solve this critics question that lives present to us. It may seem inconveniences but it is connatural. It is part of us so that we can fully adm...
