Christ before me, Christ behind me,Christ in me.

I am Patrick, yes a sinner and indeed untaught; yet I am established here in Ireland where I profess myself bishop. I am certain in my heart that 'all that I am,' I have received from God. So I live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of God.

I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God.

For after chastisement from God, and recognizing him, our way to repay him is to exalt him and confess his wonders before every nation under heaven.

He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.
