Here is the link to the Common Prayer video I produced for this evening’s canceled, Breaking Bread & Gathering session, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXanPCM2aoo
Below is the Common Prayer outline for your edification and following along with the video above. Also, take note that I provided a link for the prayer of St. Patrick (“St. Patrick’s Breastplate”)
March – Celebrating Singleness & Marriage
Patrick of Ireland (389 – 461)
At the age of sixteen, Patrick was kidnapped from his home in Britain by Irish invaders and taken to Ireland, where he was sold as a slave to a chieftain and forced to herd livestock. After six years of slavery, Patrick escaped to his native Britain. Because he believed that his captivity and deliverance were ordained by God, Patrick devoted his life to ministry. While studying for the priesthood, he experienced reoccurring dreams calling him back to Ireland. He returned to Ireland and established churches and monastic communities across the region.
O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you, as the day rises to meet the sun.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
I arise, I arise today, in the Spirit of the Trinity.
Psalm 89:34-37
I will not break my covenant: nor change what has gone out of my lips.
Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness: “I will not lie to David.
His line shall endure forever: and his throne as the sun before me;
it shall stand fast forevermore like the moon: the abiding witness in the sky”.
I arise, I arise today, in the Spirit of the Trinity.

Exodus 3:16 – 4:12; Mark 6:47-56
(Thoughts, Praises & Prayers)
Recitation of the Fulfilled Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy Name. Your Kingdom has come and Your will has been done, on earth as it is in heaven. You have given us our daily bread and forgiven us of our trespasses, as we continue to forgive those who trespass against us. You have not led us into temptation, but have delivered us from evil. Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Reading from the Daily Bread
Lord, if only we made ourselves as open and available as Your saints of old, who knows what You might do through us! Speak to us in visions and dreams, make Your will known to us, and be patient with us. Amen.
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever He may send you; may He guide you through the wildness, protect you through the storm; may He bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders that He has shown you; may He bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.
