THE GOOD ST. PATRICK
It is always refreshing to be with the Irish, especially on St. Patrick's Day.
You members of the Irish Fellowship Club, here in Chicago, are following a good old
Irish custom, that of keeping alive your racial pride, and reneving the spiritual ties
to ideals your ancestors brought from the Ymerald Isle
Today the Irish people throughout the world pay homage to the good St. Patrick.
Millions of other people, even those who do not follow his faith, have accuired a deep
and abiding affection for the kindly Saint from Ireland
St. Patrick has become an
inspiration to all who know and admire his deeds and devotion.
Although many important aspects of the life of St. Patrick have been lost in
the dim light of antiquity, enough facts remain to endear him to the hearts of his
followers. As you probably know, shortly after the year 400, Irish marauders carried
Patrick at the tender a.ge of sixteen, from his Inglish home near the Severn to bondage
in that part of Ireland now called Ulster. his six years of captivity, while
tending the herds of Irish chieftains, Patrick experienced a deep religious emotion,
reflecting his early Christian training.
After a daring escape to the Continent, Patrick finally returned to Britain,
where he became imbued with a fervent desire to bring Christianity to the ongen Irish.
Despite opposition at home, Patrick went back to Gaul with a firm determination to
prepare himself for his hazardous mission to Ireland.
Consecrated in 432, Patrick finally became Bishop of Ireland, and began his
missionary work in northern Ireland, where he once suffered the indignity of serfdom.
In spreading the faith of his fathers, the good Saint condemned slavery, fought racial
discrimination, and sought to end the tragic isolation of Ireland from the civilization
and culture of the outside world.
While seeking to supply the spiritual needs of his
new diocese, the wise Bishop also tried to improve the physical well-being of his
converts 4120 his followers in Ireland, he brought new ideas, ase well as a new faith.
