Lorica Shield Prayer of St Fursey | Red & Yellow Celtic Cross | Irish Orthodox | Western Rite | Orthodox Christian Art Poster

May the guiding hands of God be on my shoulders,
may the presence of the Holy Spirit be on my head,
may the sign of Christ be on my forehead,
may the voice of the Holy Spirit be in my ears,
may the smell of the Holy Spirit be in my nose,
may the sight of the company of heaven be in my eyes,
may the speech of the company of heaven be in my mouth,
may the work of the church of God be in my hands,
may the serving of God and my neighbor be in my feet,
may God make my heart his home,
and may I belong to God, my Father, completely.

- Lorica of St Fursey (translated from the original Old Irish by Paul C. Stratman in Prayers from the Ancient Celtic Church)
