The words are by Mrs. C. F. Alexander, who wrote many favourite

children’s hymns. Here she has translated the original MAUNDY THURSDAY 28 MARCH Irish with some poetic licence. A better translation 8 p.m. Holy Communion would be ‘I arise today through strength in the sky, in the light of the sun, in the moon’s reflection, in the dazzle of fire and the wildness of the wind.’ Mrs. C.F. Alexander GOOD FRIDAY 29 MARCH 1818-95 But Mrs. Alexander still managed to capture the 12 noon - 3 p.m. Vigil courageous faith of the saint whom we celebrate this month, on 17 March.

There is a story that St. Patrick lit the Easter beacon on the hill of Slane before that of the king. Enraged, the king drove up the hill to put Patrick to EASTER DAY 31 MARCH death, only to hear the saint singing Psalm 20 and the hymn ‘I bind unto myself.’

8.30 a.m. Holy Communion BCP Certainly the hymn is a typical 'Lorica' or 'Breastplate' – a warrior song, an incantation and a creed. That gives the hymn its special majesty and strength as 10.30 a.m. Parish Communion CW Patrick calls on the presence of God to sustain and protect him like the armour 6.30 p.m. Evening Prayer BCP of the breastplate. But the story perhaps is no more than a story – one of many associated with the saint, who chased away the snakes and journeyed, shamrock in hand, through Ireland lighting lamps of faith wherever he went.

From the Registers Patrick was born in Roman Britain in the latter days of the 4th century. He Bb was kidnapped by Irish pirates and sold into slavery at the age of sixteen. FUNERAL Separated from his family and the familiar countryside of his youth, he turned to 18 December 2013 Angela Gay BURFIELD (80) God and found there strength and consolation.

In the fourth verse there is a contrasting section, which ponders on INTERMENT of ASHES the all-encompassing presence of Christ.
