With St. Patrick's Day coming up on Tuesday March 17th I began to ask myself, as I do almost every year, why do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Who is St. Patrick?
Here is a short clip on some breif History of St. Patrick's Day made by the History Channel. It grants us an inside look at how God used Patrick in Ireland, as well as how He rescued Patrick not only from the chains he was in on earth, but from the chains of sin that had shackled him! St. Patrick, once converted, became a very zealous and bold preacher of the Gospel desiring for all in Ireland as well as to the ends of the earth to come to the Saving knowledge of Christ!
This is a short video with a reading from one of St. patrick's writings. It grants us an inside look at who Patrick was, how he thought theologically as well as how he practically responded to the transforming Gospel. I am so thankful for his love for Christ and how it pressed him to be willing to lose all things including his own life to gain Christ, and to preach the Gospel to others so that they could gain Christ. St. Patrick is an inspirational man to look too for wisdom and guidance on how to be willing to follow Christ no matter what may happen or where it may take us. I hope you enjoy this reading to God's glory and your joy!
