A prayer for the Holy Father

THE LORICA OF ST. PATRICK: Apostle to the Emerald Isle

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe in the Trinity in Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the hope of resurrection unto reward,
In prayers of Patriarchs,
In predictions of Prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faith of Confessors,
In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I bind to myself today
The power of Heaven,
The light of the sun,
The brightness of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The flashing of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of sea,
The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.

I bind to myself today
God's Power to guide me,
God's Might to uphold me,
God's Wisdom to teach me,
God's Eye to watch over me,
God's Ear to hear me,
God's Word to give me speech,
God's Hand to guide me,
God's Way to lie before me,
God's Shield to shelter me,
God's Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.

I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.

Christ, protect me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the pupi deck,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity,
I believe in the Trinity in Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

I will also add my prayers.

I ran across 3 bad (scary) links today...
a link about a book in Turkey to kill the Pope.
(http://hotair.com/archives/2006/09/15/turkish-bestseller-who-will-kill-the-pope-in-istanbul/)

another "kill the Pope link" (http://angelqueen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9615)

and then here in the USA (Tennessee) this was reported:
[...] "There were about 6 targets identified by the papers and maps they left behind, and from what I have been told, enough material to damage, if not completely destroy all six targets." As for the Christian churches, not only did the maps show their locations, but information about the times of the services were highlighted.

"Some targets were Christian churches, during Sunday services, no doubt about it at all," stated this police source. "you can bet that it’s not going to come out anywhere [in the media], but they were definitely going to make a statement, and a religious one at that," he said. "You can ‘take it from there."

The world has just gone crazy... I will pray and pray and pray...

As the minions of the Evil One conspire to murder the Successor of Peter like black clouds gathering before a lightning strike, we pray that our Lord protect Pope Benedict and give him the grace so that he may continue to heroically preach the truth about the false profit of Arabia. In the name of Christ, Our Lord, Amen.

prayers going up tonight and every night.

In spite of your rather loud warning, I am a Protestant who totally supports what your Pope said, and will pray to God almighty for protection for him.

[Global2010]

Our Father who art in Heaven
Holy is thy name,
Thy Kingdom come thy will be done.
One Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day Our Holy Bread,
And forgive us Our trespasses as we Forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead Us not into Temptation but deliver us from evil....Amen

[Global2010]

Bump to your post.

May I add.. those of us who are returning to our Catholic faith remember Prayer time.

You can pray the Rosary throughout the day and it will become a blessing and Grace.

As we think of healtheir snacks and workouts what a perfect time to Pray the Rosary.

God Bless all who come here to offer up Love and reverance to our Holy Father the Vicar of the Catholic Church.

Welcome to all who come here to Pray in the Name Of Jesus.

(sorry if I got of topic, my heart aches out of Love for Christ)

[Global2010]

2006 years of the Church.

We have that.

Here I build my rock.


Jesus, the Apostles and the Popes.
Faithful of the teachings.

[Sunsong]

Does anyone know what time the Pope gives his address today?

[Global2010]

I think we should all be in Prayer.

(coming from a gal that does not always do her morning Lauds)


Holy, Holy, Holy is Jesus Christ.

May we awaken All the Saints we ask for intercession with calling on the most Holy high Blessed be the Name of Jesus.

Saint Kolbe and St. Dameon may you hear our intentions of pureness and Love.
St. Mary the Holy Mother of God Pray NOW for all our sins....

[Global2010]

I will bump it though as many here want to know too.

I am confident he will deliver the Love of Christ and the truth however it comes out will be just.

Let us continue in Prayer..(victory)

[Global2010]

It will be my humble joy to add #511 to our Collects this morning. Let me join my voice to those for whom Pope Benedict's courageous prophetic office has given strength and support. I pray our Heavenly Father to continue to fill the Pope with all spiritual valor and fearlessnes that he may continue to proclaim the true faith once delivered to the Saints and that he may lead the Church to her heavenly home. In Jesus' Holy Name!

Prayers for the Holy Father.

PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in "our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places". Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Holy Church venerates thee as her guardian and protector; to thee, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into heaven. Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church. Offer our prayers unto the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us; take hold of "the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan." Bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit "so that he may no longer seduce the nations".
