Lent: The Prayer Of Saint Patrick

Day Twenty Four of Lent. This meditation is a contemplative recitation of The Prayer of St Patrick.

During this meditation, and for the third & fourth weeks of this series we meditate upon the Call to Endurance. Where do we draw strength from, when we feel weak? How can we learn to have grace for ourselves in those moments?

Let this meditation take you deeper in communion with God. And let this series be an edifying part of your Lent practice.

Transcript

Hey friends,

Happy St.

Paddy's Day and Day 24 of Lent.

Today's meditation is simply a contemplative recitation of the prayer of St.

Patrick.

To begin,

I invite you to close your eyes,

Relax your body,

And quiet your mind.

Be still.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude and non-judgment,

Especially toward yourself,

And embrace a spirit of peace and loving-kindness.

May the strength of God pilot us.

May the wisdom of God instruct us.

May the hand of God protect us.

May the word of God direct us.

May thy salvation,

O Lord,

Be always ours this day and forevermore.

Amen.

May the strength of God pilot us.

May the wisdom of God instruct us.

May the hand of God protect us.

May the word of God direct us.

May thy salvation,

O Yahweh,

Be always ours this day and forevermore.

Amen.

Thank you for meditating with me today,

My friends.

May grace and peace,

Light and love be with you.

A really nice contemplative prayer on the Prayer of St. Patrick. The first line especially resonated with me: "May God pilot us."

I didn't know there was a St Patrick's prayer! Thanks for sharing it here. God bless!
