The Shield of Saint Patrick
For my shield this day I call:
Heaven's might,
Sun's brightness,
Moon's whiteness,
Fire's glory,
Lightning's swiftness,
Wind's wildness,
Ocean's depth,
Earth's solidity,
Rock's immobility.
(This stanza from an old Irish prayer reprinted in Roger G. Kennedy's book, Mission--details in my last [posting.)
