Greetings all,

One of the members on CCS found this while poking about... Beliefnet!  I hope you enjoy it!  We refer to it as the Lorica or the Deer's Cry or St Patrick's Breastplate.  http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_9002.html

Slan,

Dia annseo isteach!
God to all here!

Good Morning Sorrowful,

Very nice site you have there!  I see you have a link to the Beliefnet 'Lorica'.  I was looking around your site and 'Books' caught my eye! (yes... addicted!)  Under the section on general prayer books I'd like to recommend two that I use daily.  I see you have Northumbria's prayer book, its quite extensive and many really appreciate it but I favor J. Philip Newell's style more.  I think he's captured better the heart of CC prayers.  Northumbria's work is still very 'british' sounding!  Celtic Benediction and Sounds of the Eternal are my favorite, I highly recommend them to you for consideration.  These are for personal devotions but Newell has two others I would recommend for group or liturgical prayers.  Let me know if they sound of interest to you?

Also, there is a song by Rita Connolly, The Deer's Cry, as part of Shaun Davies Album Pilgrim that is absolutely the best rendition of Patrick's prayer.  Of course, its a shortened version!  I consider the work to be both 'inspired' and 'anointed'!  One member of our group I shared it with commented, "This is what Heaven will sound like!".  I agree!  It may make a nice addition to your site...

Thanks again, glad you enjoyed the link!  I'll pass it along and the link to your site to the group today...

Slan,
Marty
