St. Patrick’s Breastplate is a traditional Christian prayer attributed to St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It emphasizes God’s presence in every part of our lives—before us, behind us, within us, and all around us.
Many Christian leaders still recite this prayer today, seeking God’s guidance, strength, and protection. Though the full prayer spans over 400 words, its most well-known lines are:
“Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me…”
St. Patrick’s Breastplate is a timeless reminder for leaders of God’s close and constant presence.
How do you remind yourself of His presence in your life and leadership?
