You're welcome. Yes, Lorica means Breastplate (Latin for "body armor"),
and it is also called "The Cry of the Deer."

Beautiful prayer and thread, Dita.



AN OLD IRISH TOAST

May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
and heaven accept you.

We thought of the same one...how cool is that?
I have one hanging on my wall that goes like this:

"May the sun shine all day long,
Everything go right and nothing go wrong.

May those you love
Send love back to you

And may all the wishes you wish
Come true."

Now... where's my pot o'gold...?!

Enjoyed putting it together...being part Irish meself!

Nice thread, Dita. Lots of information that I didn't know
about. I am not Catholic, so I miss stuff about saints.

Is this one Irish? I confess that I embroidered it on a framed wall-hanging, and on some dark nights when Hub was travelling, it was a blessing: :-D

"From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggity beasties

Good Lord, deliver us"

I am not Catholic, so I miss stuff about saints.

That's why I posted at the top that this is not a "Religion" thread. Everyone should feel welcome. St. Patrick is an intriguing figure to many; and Ireland has an unparalled magical charm.

Anyway, since it begins being about a saint, the moderators put it in the "Religion" forum....*sigh*

Thanks for doing this.

Thank you, St. Patrick, for favors granted, for strengthening and protecting the Gathering of Eagles today.

In humble thanksgiving, all honor and glory to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Ireland Ping - on behalf of Irish_Thatcherite, who doesn't have FR access at the moment. It's confusing. He apologizes for the disruption in your regularly-scheduled Ireland-ping service.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, and remember, Guinness is Good For You!
