Saint Patrick.
The Irish Legend.
Available on YouTube at
Whilst in the 5th-Century A.D., The Franks, Germans, and other Northern peoples had not yet received The Light of The Gospel, God raised up “the Confessor and Bishop, Saint Patrick, to announce His Glory to the pagans” of Ireland (Collect).
This Holy Bishop (Introit) put to such profit the talents he had received from God (Gospel) that he became the father of all this people (Communion), and that Ireland has preserved for him, after thirteen Centuries, an ardent and tender Devotion which nothing has been able to weaken.

“Hail, Glorious Saint Patrick”.

Strengthened by help from above (Offertory), he was great before Kings and Princes (Epistle). At first hostile, they ended by listening to him and helped him, during his thirty-three years' Apostleship, to cover, with Churches, Monasteries, and Schools, the island which was soon to deserve the appellation of Isle of The Saints.
Saint Patrick died in 461 A.D.
17 March is a National Day and a Day of Obligation in Ireland.
Through the merits of this Saint, whose austerities have remained celebrated, let us ask of God the Grace to accomplish the Penances commanded by Him (Collect).
