St Patrick Patron Saint Of Ireland

A very happy feast of St Patrick to you all!
St Patrick was kidnapped into slavery in Ireland when he was young. After 6 years as a slave in Ireland he managed to flee the country. After becoming a bishop he returned to Ireland to bring Christianity to the pagan country.
St Patrick's mission was not easy, he faced hostility and hardship yet he continued his work because every person was worth reaching. It's much the same in the pro life movement today, we might face hostility and hardship, as proven at our 40 Days For Life vigil in Brixton, yet each child in the womb is a unique life deserving of protection. Standing quietly, offering help and praying for mothers and fathers may seem small but with the help of God these actions carry great power.

St Patrick's Breastplate

Christ with me, 

Christ before me, 

Christ behind me,

Christ in me,

Christ beneath me,

Christ above me,

Christ on my right,

Christ on my left,

Christ when I lie down,

Christ when I sit down,

Christ when I arise,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.
