The Phenomenal Prayer of Protection by the Real St. Patrick
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.
I arise today, through
The strength of heaven,
The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
The splendor of fire,
The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.
I arise today, through
God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
afar and near.
I summon today
All these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel and merciless power
that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul;
Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me an abundance of reward.
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 down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man 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.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
Amen
🙏 🙏 🙏 ✝️✝️✝️❤❤❤

I'm just gonna say her in my air-gapped little vent bubble that I'm seeing people get pissy about puriteens discourse and pretty much every person who gets mad about that term are anti-ship people. Like hm I wonder where the puritanical tendencies might be coming from and manifesting as guys. I wonder what it is (anti-shipping and policing peoples expressions of sex or romance in fiction that are Icky To You). Is that not what a puriteen is? Someone young who is overly invested in making everyone else's expressions of sexuality and sex match their own personal comfort levels because its Icky and Bad and Uncomfy and Should go Away instead of realizing many people are Adults and even non-adults have the right to express sex and sexuality without being targeted for being Unsafe and Bad just for embracing or expressing sexuality?
This is separate as an issue from, say, people not tagging their NSFW correctly (obviously bad form and many people speak up on that regularly in sane and civil ways), or specifically targeting people with content they don't want to see (that is harassment). But like... puriteen is very much a category of person, and much like the term Karen, I would argue if you get upset about hearing it, it's probably because it hits too close to home for you and you don't like being called out as the bad guy.

LIVE BROADCAST FROM NORTH GAZA
TODAY, 17 March 2024
21:00 GMT or 7 pm US Eastern time
Islam Bassam Barbari will be hosting a livestream event on Instagram tonight at 7 pm ET/21 GMT.
This is a great opportunity for people to learn about life in north Gaza from the people who are living it, and especially to support the work of Islam and other people who are documenting the genocide.
Please attend if you have the time. If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can create one for free with any valid email address. I will try to record the session and post it afterward, but I have limited digital memory, and for some reason it is also very difficult for me to upload videos to Tumblr, so I can’t make any promises. Hence, attending personally is best.
Here is the link to Islam’s account. When the livestream begins, click on the link to go to his account, and then click on his profile picture to join the livestream.
