Patrick is attributed with bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to Ireland.

That's why they celebrate this day. O to be like Him today!

JJ, thank you for this post.

I grew up in SW Cleveland in St. Patrick's parish, a thriving post-WW2 community of mostly (Irish) Catholics.

Never once did I ever hear one thing about Patrick the evangelist or his gospel message, other than that he drive all the snakes out of Ireland, and that's why we all drink green beer!

Here are two great quotes attributed to him:

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.
