Rita's Reflections

A favorite prayer of mine is believed to come from St. Patrick in the fifth century and to be found on St. Patrick’s Breastplate. “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.” 
It is a reminder to us as we go through our daily tasks, joys, trials, struggles and temptations that Christ is ever near to strengthen us and guide us. As we enter into a world that is sometimes receptive but also sometimes antagonistic to Christ, we know that Christ’s love and presence surround us. Christ may even speak just the word we need to hear from a friend or even a stranger. 
These words are echoed in Psalm 139:7-10: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.”
