At Tara (Temur), to-day, I invoke the mighty power of the Trinity.
I believe in the Trinity under the unity of the God of the elements.
At Tara, today, I place the virtue of the birth of Christ with his baptism,
the Virtue of his crucifixion with his burial,
the Virtue of his resurrection with his ascension,
the Virtue of the coming to the eternal judgment.
At Tara, to-day, I place the Virtue of the loTe of Seraphim, [the Virtue which exists] in the obedience of angels, in the hope of the resurrection to eternal reward, in the prayers of the noble fathers, in the pre- dictions of the prophets, in the preaching of the apostles, in the faith of the confessors, in the purity of holy Tirgins, in the deeds of just men.
At Tara, to-day, I place the Btrength of heaTen, the light of the sun, the whiteness of snow, the force of fire, the rapidity of lightning, the swiftness of the wind, the depth of the sea, the stability of the earth, the hardness of rocks [between me and the force of pagan- ism and demons.]
At Tara, to-day, may the strength of God pilot me, may the power oi God preserve me, may the wisdom of God instruct me, may the eye of God Tiew me, may the ear of God hear me, may the word of God render me eloquent, may the hand of God protect me, may the way of God direct me, may the shield of God defend me, may the host of God guard me against the snares of demons, the temptations of rices, the inclinations of the mind, against erery man who meditates eTil to me, far or near, alone or iu company. I place all these powers between me and eTery eTil and unmerciful power directed against my soul and my body (as a protection) against the incantations of false prophets, against the black laws of Gentilism, against the false laws of he- resy, against the treachery of idolatry, against the spells •f women, smiths, and Druids, against every knowledge which blinds the soul of man. May Christ to-day pro- tect me against poison, against burning, against drown- ing, against wounding, until I deserve much reward.
Christ (be) with me, Christ before me, Christ after me, Christ in me, Christ under me, Christ over me, Christ at my right, Christ at my left, Christ at this side, Christ at that side, Christ at my back. Christ (be) in the heart of each person whom I speak to, Christ in the mouth of each person who speaks to me, Christ in each eye which sees me, Christ in each ear which hears me.
"At Tara, to-day, I invoke the mighty power of the
Trinity ; I belieTe in the Trinity, under the unity of the God of the elements.
Salvation is the Lord's, salvation is the Lord's ! sal- vation is Christ's ! May thy salvation, O Lord, be al- ways with us.
