Praying: From Power to Protection

More to be added as the day progresses....

Powerful morning prayer 

This prayer is an old Irish prayer known as St. Patrick’s Breastplate, and is a call for protection.

“Christ be with me, Christ within me,

Christ behind me, Christ before me,

Christ beside me, Christ to win me,

Christ to comfort and restore me.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,

Christ in hearts of all that love me,

Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.”

Humbly in the name of Jesus, we pray.

Amen.

Learning a Word Today: Condescending

 Good morning, while listening on a community based meeting today the following word comes to mind. Not claiming the speakers in this meeting exhibiting this, but quite the opposite. I support such spaces which encourage recovery, healing and even pushing a person to live a more sober life. In a country where there is a liquor store on every street corner well that endeavor is not easy. - A.T. (Yoda) Brooks

That word is Condescending.

Defined as: having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority or showing or characterized by a patronizing or superior attitude toward others.
