As Saint Patrick is celebrated over this coming weekend I’m sure Saint Patrick himself would be utterly horrified at the current idea of a celebration of his life.

As I was growing up in Belfast Northern Ireland I only remember March 17th. being celebrated by wearing a bunch of shamrock on our lapels and going to church to thank God for Saint Patrick’s life.

I hope as you have followed my facebook blogs this past week you know a lot more about the real life of Saint Patrick and his dedication to follow the Great Commission and realize that it had nothing to do with green beer, drunkenness or even cornbeef and cabbage, which incidentally I have never even heard of until coming to live in the USA. I pray you will honor his life by remembering Ireland in your prayers, the country that Patrick loved so much.
