What a great article Linda:). I love that as he prayed he felt the strength of the Spirit in him. That’s is very powerful and really ministers to my soul and spirit.
I also love the realness and beauty of your article, and your encouragement to remember and embrace traditions. Traditions ground us and bring us joy, and these are two very important principles in these troubling days we live in. I raised my glass with you and celebrated with a little Jameson in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.
God bless you for such a truly refreshing article! Yes Saint Patrick was a Christian, specifically he is a Roman Catholic Christian because only
the one true Church was around until 1,200 years later with the Protestant revolt. Yes look into how the Catholic Church sustained civilization over the centuries just as you described,
beginning the university system, hospitals, places to care for the poor and orphans. All thanks be to God!!
As you enjoy contemplating the life of St Patrick, while sipping your Guinness, check out a great book -The Search For God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield.
It tells the history of how Christian faith had such a profound effect on this family of brewers. They used their wealth and influence to truly bless Ireland.
My Armenian last name hides my Irish roots - Strongbow ( Richard De Clare). His final resting place is Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin
Loved your story and also loved Mr. Cahill's refreshing and informative book. Pleased I am to be among the real Irish too. Although my grandmother immigrated to the U.S. as a sixteen-year-old girl, she never lost her Irish brogue and passed away with it at the age of 96. It was a lovely lilt, and yes, she actually used to sing me to sleep with an Irish lullaby. While it seems that all Irish songs are sad, it's not of sadness they sing; it's almost always about the unfathomable loneliness of being away from the Emerald Isle!
