What is the breastplate prayer of Saint Patrick?

“Today I rise with powerful strength and invoke the Holy Trinity with Trinitarian faith professing the unity of the Creator and the creature.

Today I rise with the strength of Christ’s birth, with the grace of his baptism, with the strength of his crucifixion and death, with the strength of his resurrection and ascension, with the strength of his return on the day of judgment.

Today I rise with the strength of the love of the Cherubim, obedient to the angels, in the service of the archangels, in the hope of the resurrection to find consolation in the prayers of the patriarchs, the predictions of the prophets, the teachings of the apostles, the faith of the confessors, the innocence of the holy virgins, the deeds of good men.

Today I rise with the strength of the heavens: the light of the sun, the brightness of the moon, the splendor of fire, the speed of thunder, the speed of the wind, the depth of the seas, the permanence of the earth, the firmness of the rock.

Today I rise with the strength of God that guides me: his greatness that supports me, his wisdom that guides me, his eye that cares for me, his ear that listens to me, his word that speaks to me, his hand that defends me, his path to follow you, your shield to protect me, your Eucharist to free me from the traps of the devil, from the temptation of vices, from those who wish me harm, far or near, alone or accompanied.

Today I invoke these powers to rise between me and these evils, against all cruel and infamous powers that desire evil for my body, against the invocations of false prophets, against the harmful laws of paganism, against the false laws of heresy, against the arts of idolatry, against the spells of witches, palmists and sorcerers, against all knowledge that corrupts the body and soul.

Christ who protects me today against poison, against fire, against drowning, against being injured, so that abundant consolation may come to me.

Christ with me,
Christ in front of me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ upon me,
Christ at my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lay down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I get up,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of whoever speaks about me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Today I rise with powerful strength and invoke the Holy Trinity with Trinitarian faith professing the unity of the Creator and the creature. Amen.”
