The Breastplate of St. Patrick:
A prayer for Spiritual Protection
|
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.

Selected Irish Sayings
|
|
May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
and guide you in whatever you do--
and may his loving protection
be a blessing to you always.
|
May your blessings outnumber
The Shamrocks that grow.
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May your joys be as bright as the morning,
And your sorrows merely be shadows that fade,
May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you.
And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love
Dance as if no one's watching,
Sing as if no one's listening,
And live everyday as if it were your last.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Linus having a cool brew...

"I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"
President John F. Kennedy, 1 August 1963, in Bancroft Hall at the U. S. Naval Academy. (Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: John F. Kennedy, Containing the Public Messages, Speeches, and Statements of the President, January 1 to November 22, 1963 [Washington: Government Printing Office, 1964]

The country of Panama is located just 9 degrees above the Equator. It is a lost paradise of enchantment. On an Armed Forces Day Celebration in the old Canal Zone these maps were available to the visitors. Panama is also a place dreams and fabulous memories. You can be part of it all...Come to Panama... it is more than a canal.
