I have often written about Saint Patrick, one of my favorite saints, on this blog. Rather than rewriting, I thought that in remembrance of this amazing man of God I would direct you to some of my posts of years past.
So feel free to join me in remembering and celebrating Saint Patrick, Apostle to Ireland, with these posts:
Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick, British Missionary to Ireland
The Breastplate Prayer of Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick's Prayer for the Faithful
From the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, a Collect for "A Saint's Day":
O Almighty God, who hast called us to faith in Thee, and hast compassed us about with so great a cloud of witnesses; Grant that we, encouraged by the good examples of thy Saints, and especially of Thy servant Saint Patrick, may persevere in running the race that is set before us, until at length, through Thy mercy, we, with them, attain to Thine eternal joy; through Him who is the Author and Finisher of our faith, Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.So I wish you all a blessed remembrance and joyous celebration of the life, ministry, and prayers of this incredible missionary. May we serve our Lord with similar devotion, submission, courage, and bravery as we walk in the footsteps of Saint Patrick and countless Christians along the Pilgrim Pathway that leads to eternal communion with Christ our Lord.
God's blessings be upon each of you this Saint Patrick's Day, my friends,
