Feast of St. Patrick
St. Patrick

St. Patrick appears with a staff in his hand and he has the Bishop's mitre on his head. He says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“You have heard stories growing up of me driving serpents out of Ireland. Let me tell you, the most dangerous serpents were the ones in hearts. Ireland was a pagan territory that cried out for conversion. I never experienced a fair-weather March like the one you're having now. The weather was chillingly damp, cold and unwelcoming. I suffered from arthritis just as you do, but the continual damp and cold worsened it. There were no warm beds and often no accommodating clothing.”

“I suffered all of this for the sake of souls. Nothing is more precious than a soul or more worthy of sacrifice and prayers. Knowing now how many were converted and saved I would do it all again. Pray that paganism does not take over Ireland once again. Please ask Our Lady, Protectress of the Faith to protect the faith in Ireland.”
