Welcome to Gathered Worship.
May Christ be your shield today:
Christ before you; Christ behind you;
Christ beneath you; Christ above you;
Christ on your right; Christ on your left;
May Christ be with you, Christ be in you
alone and in multitude,
near and afar;
for all you face and for all your life,
that you may live in the protection and power of his blessing.
(from St. Patrick's Breastplate prayer)
