\nWishing you all a lucky day. Given that today is my sobriety anniversary, I’ve always liked this prayer by St. Patrick:<\/p>\n

I bind to myself 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, few or many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
