Where We Shall Lie

I'm a veteran of the US Army. I’m happily married to @oxymoronicromantic. You’ll likely see D&D, League of Legends and Catholic stuff pop up on my page.

The Lorica (or Breast Plate) of Saint Patrick

I arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,  Through a belief in the Threeness,  Through confession of the Oneness  Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today  Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,  Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,  Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,  Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today Through the strength of the love of cherubim,  In obedience of angels,  In service of archangels,  In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,  In the prayers of patriarchs,  In preachings of the apostles,  In faiths of confessors,  In innocence of virgins,  In deeds of righteous men.

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  From snares of the devil,  From temptations of vices,  From every one who desires me ill,  Afar and anear,  Alone or in a mulitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,  Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,  Against incantations of false prophets,  Against black laws of pagandom,  Against false laws of heretics,  Against craft of idolatry,  Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,  Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.  Christ shield me today  Against poison, against burning,  Against drowning, against wounding,  So that reward may come to me in abundance.

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 every man who thinks of me,  Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,  Christ in the eye that sees me,  Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,  Through a belief in the Threeness,  Through a confession of the Oneness Of the Creator of creation

St. Patrick (ca. 377)

Hi yes hello it’s me the local wizard, and I- Ok well “evil” feels like a strong word but yes, that’s me. Anyway, I need your help. I know I stole away the kingdoms 12 princesses, that’s my bad. Listen, I didn’t think this through. It didn’t occur to me that having a dozen angry young women from early teen to early 20s and giving them giant powerful wings would be a bad idea.

I know I’m the one who cast the curse but it can still only be broken with true love. I’m begging you, somebody, please come and fall in love with these girls and make them leave, I can’t take it anymore, it sucks so bad. I can’t keep getting viciously bullied by one of the largest living species of waterfowl anymore. I’ve tried running away but they can fly so they just find me. I’m getting nothing done.

I’ll pay you, I’ll grant you wishes, I don’t care, please just come and fall in love with the mean angry women who live in my yard and hate me so bad

I was telling my brother about the game and how it won't be right if they make him tall and he said "wolverines are pretty short"

EXACTLY
