Celebrate the day dedicated to Patrick, but take a moment to remember Patrick the man as well as the saint. He knew slavery and freedom, kept his Christian faith even when living among pagans and followed God's instructions to return to them. Oh, and he wasn't born Irish!
Patrick, 'tis known, was a saint
Though it's fair to say everyone ain't.
He brought faith to the wild
And taught kindness so mild,
That with love he did everyone paint.
There's more here.
