I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.

---

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

---

I arise today Through the strength of heaven: Light of sun Brilliance of moon Splendor of fire Speed of lightning Swiftness of wind Depth of sea Stability of earth Firmness of rock.

---

Daily I expect to be murdered or betrayed or reduced to slavery if the occasion arises. But I fear nothing, because of the promises of heaven.

---

So I live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of God.

---

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.

---

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

---

Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort me and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

---

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.

---

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