If I Have Any Worth, It Is

I Am Patrick, Yes A Sinner And Indeed Untaught; Yet I Am Established Here In Ireland Where I Profess Myself Bishop. I Am Certain In My Heart That 'all That I Am,' I Have Received From God. So I Live Among Barbarous Tribes, A Stranger And Exile For The Love Of God.

I Grieve For You, How I Mourn For You, Who Are So Very Dear To Me, But Again I Can Rejoice Within My Heart, Not For Nothing Have I Labored, Neither Has My Exile Been In Vain.

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.

He [god] Watched Over Me Before I Knew Him, And Before I Learned Sense Or Even Distinguished Between Good And Evil, And He Protected Me, And Consoled Me As A Father Would His Son.

Sufficient To Say, Greed Is A Deadly Deed. You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor's Goods.
