I will tell Members what I said here last year on this great holiday, particularly for those of us who have 100-percent Irish blood flowing in their veins. This prayer is called the Breast Plate or the Armor Plate of St. Patrick: Jesus before me, Jesus protecting my back, Jesus to the right of me, Jesus to the left of me, Jesus above me, Jesus supporting me, Jesus in all I see, Jesus in all I hear, Jesus in my touch as I reach out to others, Jesus in my every utterance, Jesus Christ in my every thought. St. Patrick, you darlin' man, bless us one and all on this your great feast day.
