and tamed the Lion



St. Patrick was incredible
born in 387
born to a Christian family in Roman Britain
kidnapped by Celts as a young man
brought to Ireland as a slave
escaped after many years
became a Roman Catholic Priest
chose to go back to Ireland as a missionary
by God's grace,
He converted the entire island to Jesus
He used a three leaf clover to teach the doctrine of the Trinity
He was an amazing speaker
His writings, though few, are Augustinian in there brilliance and honesty
so today we wear green
have parades
green beer flows
but how many really know?
how many truly care?
how many will remember the man of God who followed Jesus into a lions den,
a lions den called Ireland
and tamed the lion..
