Upon rising, the morning dew signals hope and life - reflected in Saint Patrick’s breastplate: 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 firmness of rock. I arise today through God's strength to pilot me/ God's wisdom to guide me/ God's eye to look before me/ God's ear to hear me/ God's hand to guard me/ God's shield to protect me. Wear a bit of green today in honor of Erin’s apostle.
