This elegant sterling silver Mobius bracelet is finely engraved with St Patrick's Prayer. The writings of St. Patrick, known as the Patron Saint of Ireland, appear in many versions. The short prayer engraved here has been adapted from the much longer prayer, The Lorica (Latin for Armor) better known as the Breastplate of St. Patrick (St Patrick's Prayer), so called as much of it calls for God's protection.
Here is the text of the inspirational St Patrick's Prayer:
I bind to myself today:
God's power to guide me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to teach me.
God's eye to watch over me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's work to give me speech,
God's hand to guide me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to shelter me,
God's host to secure me.

The unique design of the Mobius strip appears to have one side, which allows the bracelet to be inscribed with a surprising number of words to be read without interruption on its length. The beautiful elliptical shape sits comfortably about the hand; the unique twist to the design represents the paradox of a plane or loop without end, an apt symbol for infinity. Since the infinite for many equates with the divine, the Mobius bracelet is the perfect medium on which to inscribe prayers and other inspiring and memorable quotations.
