In these troubling and stressful times, a lorica is a good thing to have!

Another way to invoke protection is to recite/pray: “Oh, God, make speed to save us. Oh, God, make haste to help us”. This is to be done facing north, west, south, and east (the exact order does not matter, I think?).

From David Adams’ “The Open Gate”, page 112, is this blessing:

God of the heights protect and uplift you.
Christ of the depths uphold and sustain you.
Spirit of the slopes guide you and grasp you.

Amen!

And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
