0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.4	Welcome back, guys. This week, we're spending some time with an Irish
0:23.4	prayer from St. Patrick called St. Patrick's breastplate or the Deers Cry. Let me read the
0:28.6	beginning of it here. I rise today through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
0:34.1	through belief in the threiness, through confession of the oneness of the creator of
0:38.3	creation. I rise today through the strength of Christ with his baptism, through the strength of his
0:43.4	crucifixion with his burial, through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,

1:31.5	outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloth
1:36.0	lying there, and he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb.
1:41.6	He saw the linen cloth lying there in the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head,
1:46.0	not lying with the linen cloth, but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had
