Description

This is the first chapter in a book I am writing on St. Patrick's Breastplate. (This is a rough draft with typos.) Each chapter will explore a different stanza of the prayer. I still need to finish tracking down some references (seeing as they were from memory). I welcome discussion, criticism, suggestions, and any engagement on this.

I really liked what you have written. Iwill try it, and it will, I am sure slow me down a bit more. I am fortunate not to be able to drive, and as my husband is at work for 10 hours a day, I have the wonderful gift of time, to think, to read my bible, and to pray, and play music. thank you again for your ideas. I will try them. margaret d. kelly

Hi, Doug:

This is valuable. In our church, whenever we have a baptism, we sing 'The Lorica,' which is a musical form of St. Patrick's Breastplate (as modified, says James Jordan).

And on Easter Sunday (Pascha) we had a sermon, 'It's Always Easter!.' that exhorted the presence of God. Easter is a big Sunday. Christ Jesus rose on the 3rd day, the first day of the 7, the 8th day--hey! that makes 12. 1+3+8=12, a number of finality.

(In HOST/SuperCalendar, the year is glorified in being named 'coram,' which means face or presence in Latin, and is a high-word--a mountain in laugauge, as a holiday is a mountain in time--, an acronym, for Celebration O (that is) Resurrection Anno Mundi. Lots of puns abound. Celerity is quickness, or quickening (we are raised with Him). O means that is, a genetive appositive, Daughter of Jerusalem= Daughter that is Jerusalem.

And AM is people, so... .

I eagerly anticipate Chapter 2.

Now back to Chapter 1.

Shalom,

PS: Recently I took another look at an ERH quote.
Rhyming resonates presence.

"The history of the human race is written on a single theme: How does love become stronger than death? The composition is recomposed in each generation by those whose love overcomes murdering or dying. So history becomes a great song, Augustine's Carmen Humanum. As often as the lines rhyme, love has once again become stronger than death. This rhyming, this connecting, is men's function on earth. But that this is our function we have only known since the birth of Christ." - Sociology II, p. 759

I enjoyed this work alot. I have developed a new Trinitarian Theology which starts with the Father, the God of Being, then the Son, The Logos, Creative Form, Reason, and then the Holy Spirit, Substance, The Absolute. You might find my work on Scribd of interest. Thanks, Anthony Fejfar
