A statue of St Patrick is carried during the St Patrick’s Day parade through central London on March 13, 2016 in London, England.
“Christ near,
Christ here,
Christ be with me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ within me,
Christ behind me,
Christ be o’er me,
Christ before me.
Christ in the left and the right,
Christ hither and thither,
Christ in the sight,
Of each eye that shall seek me,
In each ear that shall hear,
In each mouth that shall speak me—
Christ not the less
In each heart I address”
The Faed Fiada, Saint Patrick’s Lorica for Protection
