And shepards we shall be. For thee, my lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

It's a fictional prayer from the 1999 movie, "The Boondock Saints," written and directed by Troy Duffy.

It's not a bible quotation and as an earlier participant said it;'s probably from a film. The clue is in the last sentence which is Latin for 'In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.' This phrase is attributed to the catholic church which was formed hundreds of years later and is used as a blessing or the end of a prayer. The Trinity was a concept that came in long after Christ's death.

It's certainly not from the Bible, or from any known collection of prayers for use in worship. The ideas don't blend correctly for that. But it's still quite a nice example of art with words and ideas.

It's not from the Bible because it doesn't make sense.
