Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

In Honor of Saint Patrick’s Day!
The Giant Celtic Cross That Miraculously Appears Each Autumn ~ Donegal, Ireland…
The Cross, nestled in the midst of Evergreens, is made up of 3,000 Larch trees, which turn Golden in the Fall.
This Masterpiece of horticultural art was designed and planted by Liam Emmery, who now has the best view from Heaven!
Just gotta put two concertos of the Irish pianist and composer John Field in, one of my favourites because his compositions are always joyous.
He lived in Russia for a great part of his life and was much feted there.
If I want my mood lifted, I listen to these wonderful pieces 💕
And for all of us who love the animals God has given to us to care for, this Irish group will make you smile.
It’s a toe tapper and an audience pleaser and bound to put a smile on anyone’s face 😁
And finally, John Rutter’s short, beautiful, moving Prayer of Saint Patrick, sung by the Cambridge Singers 🙏🏻 🕊 💕
A Prayer of Saint Patrick
Christ be with me, Christ within me.
Christ behind me, Christ before me.
Christ beside me, Christ to win me.
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ above me, Christ beneath me.
Christ in the quiet, Christ in danger.
Christ in hearts of all who love me.
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Amen 🙏🏻 🕊
These are the calming and restorative lyrics, Patience to the prayer above.
Betsy, you deserve a rest after Caturday and then St. Patrick’s Day! 👏
I meant to, sis…I really did. I’m like Chatty Cathy…pull my string and you just can’t shut me up 😂👍🏻
I wanted a Chatty Cathy, but got a Betsy Wetsy. True story! 😂 👶
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! I got a Betsy Wetsy as well…alas, no Chatty Cathy. Pretty sure my mother envisioned hearing it nonstop and thought better of if 😂
Ha ha – my mom said she wouldn’t be changing any diapers!
oooooooo La La, girl !!!!!
😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Golly !!! Now that’s living large!
Thank you Betsy! A beautiful song of a wonderful prayer!
And here’s the longer version of
The Lorica
St. Patrick’s Breastplate is a popular prayer attributed to one of Ireland’s most beloved patron saints. According to tradition, St. Patrick wrote it in 433 A.D. for divine protection before successfully converting the Irish King Leoghaire and his subjects from paganism to Christianity. (The term breastplate refers to a piece of armor worn in battle.) This prayer certainly reflects the spirit with which St. Patrick brought our faith to Ireland! St. Patrick’s Breastplate, also known as The Lorica of Saint Patrick was popular enough to inspire a hymn based on this text as well. (This prayer has also been called The Cry of the Deer.)
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.
[Note that people sometimes pray a shorter version of this prayer just with these 15 lines about Christ above. The conclusion follows below.]
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.
When St. Paul referred to putting on the “Armor of God” in his letter to the Ephesians (6:11) to fight sin and evil inclinations, he could have been thinking of prayers just like this one! We may not wear combat gear in our daily lives, but St. Patrick’s Breastplate can function as divine armor for protection against spiritual adversity.
Thank you so much, Mary.
Long it may be, but in its simplicity so very hopeful, beautiful, and comforting 🙏🏻🕊
Thanks…. ✝️💞
Thank you, Besty.
-Will listen later to really enjoy.

Ghost Sculpture at the Castle of

Fascinating…and disturbing.
Ooops!
Posted a reply to you

Look up above
Dang!

Song popped into my head …
https://mymodernmet.com/vezio-castle-ghosts-lake-como/
“These ghosts of Vezio are plaster casts made by the managers of the castle each year. Tourists volunteer to have plaster fitted to them, which are used to create these ghostly figures. They are then left to the elements throughout the winter until a new season begins and the ghosts are cast anew. These ghosts are one of the castle’s biggest attractions, but why are they on the grounds and what do they represent?”
EVENING PRAYERS
A wonderful selection, duchess. The phrase, “surrender my burdens,” is so enticing.
Not really presidential politics, but world politics.
Today at 21:09 Moscow time, the results of the Russian election so far:
Vladimir Putin – 87.86%
Nikolai Kharitonov – 3.8%
Vladislav Davankov – 3.86%
Leonid Slutsky – 2.97%
Substitute Trump for Putin, and I’d say this is the actual result of the 2020 Presidential race prior to Dominion doing its magic!
That is the result with over 70% of registered voters voting.
In his after election speech, Vladimir Putin included this line, “I have every reason to believe that we do not observe any democracy in the pre-election processes in the USA today.”
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen
If I translate Israeli TV for my friends here it’s only because I consider it important information.
Have you ever asked yourself what’s worse? A Democrat or a RINO?
My answer is : If they are Globalists then it’s the same.
The video is done by regular TV and she is a bit naive and you can take it any place you want but the information of this short video is 100% undeniable truth. It’s the US Elites relations to 10/7.
I photoshopped an Image at the beginning of the video. This image never happened in reality. All the faces were added to the background. I hope they don’t flag it as “copyright” because I will have to remove it. At least for today it will be available.
Note that what Obama blames Bush for, he did the same to Egypt and other Middle East nations who became a mess.
🇮🇱 Excellent find, David.
Thank you for taking the time to translate for us.
We are so fortunate.
I agree with you 100%.
I’ve missed your posts this week.
Shavuah Tov.
🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱 God keep Israel Safe and Strong. Amen.
Thank you. You didn’t miss I didn’t post. Waiting for things to happen beside day to day war.
You’re killin’ me, Patience! 😃 😄 😁 🤣 😂
