Prayers for March

The breastplate of St Patrick
A prayer by St Patrick against the temptations of the world

            I rise today with the power of God to guide me,
            The might of God to uphold me,
            The wisdom of God to teach me,
            The eye of God to watch over me,
            The ear of God to hear me,
            The word of God to give me speech,
            The hand of God to protect me,
            The path of God to lie before me,
            The shield of God to shelter me,
            The host of God to defend me
            Against the snares of the devil and the temptations of the world,
            Against every man who meditates injury to me,
            Whether far or near.

A prayer for all storm-tossed souls
By Soren Kierkegaard

To thee, O God, we turn for peace. Grant us the blessed assurance that nothing shall deprive us of that peace, neither ourselves, nor our foolish earthly desires, nor my wild longings, nor the anxious cravings of my heart.

A Grace from Argentina - ideally to be sung in Spanish
 
            God bless to us our bread
            Give bread to those who are hungry
            Give hunger for justice to those who are fed
            God bless to us our bread'
 
This grace has been published in this country by the Iona Community
