St. Patrick's Day Celebration
Posted by tom | Mar 15, 2007As you have opportunity among family, friends, colleagues, share about how The Real St. Patrick followed Christ! During adult education on Sunday, I drew attention to St. Patrick's Day Resources. A Poem by St. Patrick, St. Patrick's Breastplate (thank-you to Sursum Corda), and The Confession of St. Patrick are choice pieces for Lenten prayer and reflective consideration.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me, Christ in the eye that sees me, Christ in the ear that hears me.
He [God] watched over me before I knew him, and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil, and he protected me, and consoled me as a father would his son. —Saint Patrick (415–c.461)
Praise be to God! I couldn't put it better to describe the work of God in my own life.
