This day I have within me the resolve of Matt Talbot.
This day I have within me the discipline of Brigid.
This day I have within me the triune faith of Patrick.
This day I have within me the courage of Brendan.
This day a pilgrimage,
One step at a time.
Let me walk with Matt Talbot
And the pioneers of sobriety.
This day is a pilgrimage,
One step at a time.
Let me walk with Brigid,
Her staff a guide and discipline.
This day a pilgrimage,
One step at a time.
Let me walk with Patrick,
His Breastplate, my daily shield.
This day a pilgrimage,
One step at a time.
Let me sail with Brendan,
Safe, sober, and clean at day's end.
