St. Patrick’s Breastplate prayer:
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.
I arise today, through
The strength of heaven,
The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
The splendor of fire,
The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.
I arise today, through
God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
afar and near.
I summon today
All these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel and merciless power
that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul;
Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me an abundance of reward.
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR VEHICLES TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED?
As well as engine oil, transmission fluid has a limited lifespan, and it inevitably deteriorates as time and miles pass.
Old transmission fluid loses its cooling and lubricating abilities.
Once deteriorated, transmission fluid isn’t as efficient as it should be which can cause expensive transmission breakdowns.
To sum it up, the answer to why you should change your transmission fluid is because it prolongs the lifespan of your transmission and keeps your car as fuel-efficient as possible.
How often should you change transmission fluid?
The good part about transmission fluid is that it doesn’t need to be changed nearly as often as engine oil.
The normal replacement interval of transmission fluid is 100,000 miles for most automatic transmissions, while some transmission manufacturers claim even 150,000 miles is enough. It really depends on the type of transmission fluid as well as the weather condition in which the car is driven. When in doubt, check into your car’s owner manual or repair manual and look for the manufacturer’s recommended interval.
Nonetheless, changing your transmission fluid more often only benefits your car, so we’d recommend you change transmission fluid at every 50,000 miles or as soon as it starts to turn dark.
As transmission fluid deteriorates, it loses some of its specific features and the easiest one to spot is its color. Fresh automatic transmission fluid is most commonly bright red but could also be pink or clear. The first sign of deteriorating transmission fluid is it turning darker.
Keeping the transmission fluid in your car in good condition is your best bet to prevent costly transmission repairs. Inspect it regularly and change it when needed. Always make sure to use the correct type of fluid and keep in mind that more expensive fluid doesn’t always mean better. However, in some cases, it does. Synthetic transmission fluid or fluid with specific additives often cost more than regular fluid but will also deliver greater performance and allow for a longer replacement interval. In all cases, remember to use the right type of fluid for your car and to follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure. Doing so will ensure that you correctly replace the transmission fluid in your car while also saving some of your hard-earned money.
