The Lorica Prayer – Saint Patrick’s Breast Plate Prayer

 

I arise today

Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, 

Through a belief in the Threeness, 

Through confession of the Oneness 

Of the Creator of creation.

 

I arise today 

Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism, 

Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial, 

Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension, 

Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

 

I arise today

Through the strength of the love of cherubim, 

In obedience of angels, 

In service of archangels, 

In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward, 

In the prayers of patriarchs, 

In preachings of the apostles, 

In faiths of confessors, 

In innocence of virgins, 

In deeds of righteous men.

 

I arise today

Through the strength of heaven; 

Light of the sun, 

Splendor of fire, 

Speed of lightning, 

Swiftness of the wind, 

Depth of the sea, 

Stability of the earth, 

Firmness of the rock.

 

I arise today

Through God's strength to pilot me; 

God's might to uphold me, 

God's wisdom to guide me, 

God's eye to look before me, 

God's ear to hear me, 

God's word to speak for me, 

God's hand to guard me, 

God's way to lie before me, 

God's shield to protect me, 

God's hosts to save me 

From snares of the devil, 

From temptations of vices, 

From every one who desires me ill, 

Afar and anear, 

Alone or in a multitude. 

 

I summon today all these powers between me and evil, 

Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul, 

Against incantations of false prophets, 

Against black laws of pagandom, 

Against false laws of heretics, 

Against craft of idolatry, 

Against spells of women and smiths and wizards, 

Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul. 

 

Christ shield me today 

Against poison, against burning, 

Against drowning, against wounding, 

So that reward may come to me in abundance.

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 when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, 

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

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

Christ in the eye that sees me, 

Christ in the ear that hears me.

 

I arise today

Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, 

Through a belief in the Threeness, 

Through a confession of the Oneness

Of the Creator of creation

St. Patrick (ca. 377)





Pray the prayer of abandonment

Why isn’t AI human?

Timmerie explores what actually brings women joy, and it’s NOT what modern feminism is selling.

 

The Big Lie: “Empowerment” Through Motherhood Rejection 

 

International Women’s Day rolls around, and social media is flooded with the same old messaging: women are "empowered" by abortion, contraception, surrogacy, and even daycare. Timmerie argues that these aren’t liberating at all; in fact, the greatest injustice against women is the "destruction and exploitation of motherhood." 

 

Psychotherapist Erica Komisar (who’s not even Catholic, mind you) has been putting out research that proves what we already know deep down: kids need their moms, especially in their early years. Yet, this truth is wildly unpopular in the corporate-driven culture.

 

Wait… Women Are Happier Doing “Domestic” Things? 

 

If social media trends are any indicator, women are rediscovering joy in the very things that used to be considered "burdens": knitting, homemaking, cooking, homesteading. There’s a deep craving for a return to home and family life, even if the world still tries to make it seem regressive.

 

Science Agrees: Moms at Home Are Happier (Even If It’s Hard) 

 

Studies from the Institute for Family Studies and other sources show that stay-at-home moms experience higher life satisfaction and rarely regret their decision, even though being home is demanding. Sure, secular studies try to spin it like being at home is isolating, but what they leave out is that these same women report deep fulfillment. Motherhood is tough, but it’s also full of meaning.

 

Timmerie, a mom of (almost) three, totally gets it. The stress is real (toddlers are relentless), but the reward is deeper than any job title. God doesn’t promise easy, but He does promise abundance. That abundance is often tied to embracing the maternal call, whether it’s biological or spiritual motherhood.

 

So… What’s the Secret to Women’s Happiness? 

 

Living in line with God’s design. Motherhood, whether physical, spiritual, or vocational, is at the core of a woman’s identity. Even women in STEM or corporate roles thrive most when they can nurture others in some way. That’s why we see more women gravitating toward careers like teaching, nursing, and caregiving. It’s built into their very souls.

 

As St. Edith Stein put it, “A woman’s soul is fashioned as a place in which other souls unfold.” 

 

The culture tells women that happiness comes from career success, independence, and rejecting traditional roles. The actual data: more importantly, women’s lived experiences, say otherwise. True joy comes from embracing who women were made to be.

 

Bottom line: Ladies, your deepest fulfillment isn’t in fighting against your nature; it’s in embracing it. 

 

What do you think... Do you see this shift happening around you?
