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 in breadth, Christ in length,

Christ in height,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,

                                                         Christ in every eye that sees me,

                                                         Christ in every ear that hears me.

(Prayer in the tradition of St Patrick)
