"The Deer's Cry", attributed to St Patrick, is known by several names: "The Breastplate of St Patrick" and "Lorica" to mention two. It is a beautiful prayer celebrating a God who lives with his children, guiding them, sheltering them, strengthening them. A God who is with us and in us through his Creation. In 1994 Irish composer Shaun Davey put a section of the Breastplate to some wonderful music in his CD "The Pilgrim". If you like Celtic music you will treasure this CD. This video attempts to enhance Shaun Davey's music with some relevant images.

  • This is my favourite version of the Breastplate of St. Patrick and your video is perfect :)

  • Very nice of you to say so. The video was produced for a prayer get-together of the Patrician Brothers and the second half of the video is attempting to reflect the main ministries the Brothers are involved in: education, health, and chaplaincy.

  • Who is the voice? The video is wonderful!  Congrats.

  • The singer is Rita Connolly. Beautifully sung. The best I have heard and I have heard quite a few others. She was born in Dublin. You will find her on YouTube.

  • Thank you for posting this. It has led many toward healing and peace. Through sorrows and joys and cruelties and blessings. It is all here.

  • Well, let us thank whomever wrote the prayer; thank Shaun Davey for the way his music complements the message so wonderfully well; and thank God for giving people such wonderful gifts.

  • @02021808 Nice to know that. I went to school to the Patrician Brothers.

  • Beautiful music. J'en ai les frins aussi! Go raibh maith agat, Shaun Davey for the music, Rita Connolly for the singing and St Patrick for the prayer, not to mention my dear frioend Anne for drawing my attention to it!

  • @02021808 Thank you so much for the reply. Have a great day -- in Christ.

  • My French is not much good, not good at all really, but I am glad the video moves you, that's probably the Holy Spirit in you and not a cold coming on. The computer translates that as: Mon français n'est pas beaucoup de bon, pas de bonnes à tous les vraiment, mais je suis heureux que le vidéo vous déplace, c'est probablement l'Esprit Saint de vous et pas un froid venant sur. God bless.
