Written in the 5th century by Patrick (Enlightener of Ireland)
I arise today in vast might
invocation of the Trinity
belief in threeness
confession of Oneness
toward the Creator.
I arise today
in the might of Christ's birth and His Baptism
in the might of His Crucifixion and Burial
in the might of His Resurrection and Ascension
in the might of His Descent to the Judgment of Doom.
I arise today
in the might of the order of Cherubim
in obedience of Angels
in ministrations of Archangels
in hope of resurrection for the sake of reward
in prayers of Patriarchs
in predictions of Prophets
in preachings of Apostles
in faith of Confessors
in innocence of Holy Virgins
in deeds of righteous men.
I arise today
in the might of Heaven
brightness of sun
whiteness of snow
splendor of fire
speed of lightning
swiftness of wind
depth of sea
stability of earth
firmness of rock
I arise today
in the might of God for my piloting
Power of God for my upholding
Wisdom of God for my guidance
Eye of God for my foresight
Ear of God for my hearing
Word of God for my utterance
Hand of God for my guardianship
Path of God for my precedence
Shield of God for my protection
Host of God for my salvation
against snares of demons
against allurements and vices
against solicitations of nature
against every person that wishes me ill, far and near
alone and in a crowd.
I invoke therefore all these forces
against every fierce merciless force
that may come upon my body and my soul
against incantations of false prophets
against black laws of paganism
against false laws of heresy
against deceits of idolatry
against spells of witches and sorcerers and druids
against all knowledge that is forbidden to the human soul.
Christ for my guardianship today
against poison
against drowning
against wounding
that there may come to me multitude of rewards
Christ with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ within me
Christ under me
Christ over me
Christ to the right of me
Christ to the left of me
Christ in lying down
Christ in sitting
Christ in rising up
Christ in the heart of all who may think of me!
Christ in the mouth of all who may speak of me!
Christ in every eye which may look on me!
Christ in every ear which may hear me!
I arise today in vast might
invocation of the Trinity
belief in threeness
confession of Oneness
toward the Creator.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of Christ.
May Your salvation, O Lord,
remain always with us.
