I just read ST. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography by Philip Freeman (Simon and Schuster, 2004) and learned so much from it about this man. I want to be like him. God talked to him. Do you remember singing "Hymn of ST Patrick" at Rocky 1990s? I'm wanting to sing it at my church here in Portland on Sunday. The Music Director came over and did the accompaniment for me yesterday. Thank you for writing this.
I used to hire an Irish trad band and a set dance caller for our little Anglican parish for a feast on St. Patrick's. With the usual smattering of Anglophiles you get in such a church, it was always fun to see some folks defiantly wearing orange.
Learning about our true catholicity was definitely one of the pleasures of maturing in the faith.
