Monday Meditation: Ye Fair Green Hills Of Galilee

 




Ye fair green hills of Galilee

That girdle quiet Nazareth,

What glorious vision did ye see,

When He who conquered sin and death

Your flowery slopes and summits trod,

And grew in grace with man and God?

"We saw no glory crown His head

As childhood ripened into youth;

No angels on His errands sped;

He wrought no sign; but meekness, truth,

And duty marked each step He trod,

And love to man and love to God."


Jesus! My Savior, Master, King,

Who didst for me the burden bear;

While saints in heaven Thy glory sing,

Let me on earth Thy likeness wear;

Mine be the path Thy feet have trod:

Duty, and love to man and God.

The Prayer Of Saint Patrick: I Arise Today

 




"Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render praise to You
and give You thank offerings.  For You have delivered my life
from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before
God in the light of life and of the living."

(Psalm 56:12-13)




Saint Patrick

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 preaching of the apostles,

In faith 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 to 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.




Born in Scotland, Saint Patrick (c.390-461) was imprisoned and taken to Ireland
when he was about sixteen years old. He later returned to Scotland where he had 
 a dream in which the people of Ireland were pleading with him to return there.

Although legends abound about him, Patrick eventually returned to the
Emerald Isle to preach the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

For nearly 30 years he wandered and witnessed and is said to have used
 the shamrock or a three-leafed clover, to explain the concept of the Trinity,
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, to his listeners.

  "Through a belief in Threeness,  through a confession of the Oneness,
of the Creator of creation."

A Fortress And A High Tower

 




"But I will sing of Your mighty strength and power; yes, I will sing aloud
of Your mercy and loving-kindness in the morning; for You have been to me
 a defense, a fortress and a high tower and a refuge in the day of my distress.

Unto You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my Defense, my
 Fortress and High Tower, the God Who shows me mercy and steadfast love."

(Psalm 59:16-17)
