Dear Debbie,

Since St. Patrick walked all over Ireland, he probably suffered many a foot 

problem, so I think he can be your saint of Podiatry. So here goes:

Dear St. Patrick,

We ask you to intercede for Debbie. If this is the job in which she can 

fulfill her potential, provide for her son, and spread the joy of her vivacity 

and humor, thus giving glory to God, please ask Him to move the hearts and 

minds of those doing the hiring, Thank you for hearing our prayer.

The Prayer of St. Patrick

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

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.

Christ shield me today
Against wounding
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.
