We celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick on the 17th March each year; a quiet display this year because of Covid-19, yet wonderful virtual displays to show we remember.
And a good question to ask ourselves, what do we remember? Is it a story of a young man who was a slave, managed to escape and return to his home. Then later, inspired by God to return to Ireland and share his Faith with us, or is it more?
These days, with no public Mass being celebrated, and a virus pandemic keeping us at distance from each other, our need for our Faith is at a crisis point. Perhaps, more than ever, we begin to realize our desperate need for spiritual encouragement.
What can we do to regain the Faith of our Fathers? Saint Patrick has done his job for Ireland, now what can we do? What can I do? If one truly believes in the gift of Faith received, then the answer is to share our Faith in everyway we can.
How we think / how we speak / how we write / how we act / to become like Patrick, a person willing and able to share the gift of Faith!
