\"\"“Christ be with me, Christ within me,
\nChrist behind me, Christ before me,
\nChrist beside me, Christ to win me,
\nChrist to comfort and restore me.
\nChrist beneath me, Christ above me,
\nChrist in quiet, Christ in danger,
\nChrist in hearts of all that love me,
\nChrist in mouth of friend and stranger.” – St. Patrick<\/p>\n

This passage opens my mind, frees my spirit, and moves me emotionally. As a little girl I felt this way. In the chaos of life as an adult I am in awe when I have the time to take in the presence of Christ in this way. I know in my soul that this never changes. What changes is my awareness, and availability to slow down and allow this realization to sweep through and over my being. In the reading of this passage I do just that. Take a moment to read this a few times slowly and allow the Holy Spirit to render you motionless and allow God to cover you in His presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
