Saint Patrick

[Sam]

I received this prayer from Rev. Gerri Janeway several (I don’t remember how many) years ago and I thought I’d send it out in honor or St. Patrick’s Day which is Thursday March 17, 20ll. The attached picture of a shamrock is based on an old legend that when St. Patrick tried to teach the Irish pagans about the one true God, he used a shamrock to show how the Christian God is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and where the Irish had many gods we have only one God who is revealed or manifested or seen in Jesus Christ.

With this old prayer, I wish you strong days and a lot of victory
Rev. Gerri Janeway

AN OLD STRONG PRAYER

St. Patrick (Ireland) is supposed to have spoken these words everyday.


St.Patrick...He said daily....
I am risen with Christ. Through Him I live Today.
I am bound to Him….

there where He is – there I am too.
that which He is – that I am too
that which He does – that I do too
that which He says – that I say too
that which is subject to Him – is also subject to me
that which is obedient to Him – is also obedient to me

I live by the power of His resurrection...
I live from His fullness
I live from all His blessings
I live from His righteousness

That which served Him – that serves me too
that which followed Him – that follows me too
that which loved Him – that loves me too
that which hated Him – that hates me too
that which took Him in – that takes me in too
that which He needed, that I need too
that which He did not need – that I do not need too
that which comforted Him – that comforts me too

through that which He went – I go too
the road He walked – that road I walk too
that which held Him – holds me too
that which helped Him – helps me too
that which protected Him – protects me too
that which led Him – leads me too
that which gave Him strength – gives me strength too
that which saved Him – saves me too
that which kept Him from sin – keeps me from sin too
that which kept Him healthy – keeps me healthy too
that which stood by His side – stands by my side too
that which He did not fear – I do not fear too
that, through which He drove out demons –through that I drive them out too
that which made Him strong – makes me strong too
that which was over Him – is over me too
that which made Him boundless – makes me boundless too
that which helped Him accomplish His mission – helps me accomplish mine too
that which held Him above, always – holds me above, always too

Jesus Christ…
He is before me, and behind me
He is under me, and over me
He is with me, and in me
He is on my right and on my left
He is with me, when I wake up in the morning
He is with me, when the day is hard and difficult
He is with me, when things don’t work out
He thinks for me
He speaks to me
He sees me

I live to day by the power of the heavens
by the power of the Holy Spirit...

St. Patrick encouraged his people to pray this prayer constantly.
It can not harm us either, to identify ourselves with Jesus Christ.
