St. Patrick - The Real Story

When he was fourteen or so, he was captured by Irish pirates during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. At the time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans but Patrick turned to God and wrote his memoir, The Confession. In The Confession, he wrote:

"The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same. I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain."

St. Patrick pioneered the Gospel of Christ to the Irish during the Dark Ages and revolutionized the Celts.

Saint Patrick should be an inspiration for all of us to not compromise our faith, especially in this day and age. Stay safe today brothers and sisters 🍀

Thank-you for that excellent presentation of a great man of God. It really spoke to me, and it made me sad how the green-wearing, beer-drinking, parade marching celebrations have literally nothing to do with Patrick’s life devoted to saving the people of Ireland. I will be sharing this with others, and St Patrick’s Day will never be the same for me! God bless you! James Ponak

very good video of a hero of the faith, I prefer every st patricks day to read or watch a video about the true story of Patrick. His legacy should be an inspiration to us, to pray and share the good news of Christ to other cultures in a loving way. To not reflect in bitterness on the hard trials of the past. If you have never read his confessions highly recommend powerful reading.

Patrick's confrontation with the druids was EPIC. Legend has it that on the eve of the pagan druid feast of Beltane, Patrick defied the strict rule that only the druid high king could light the first fire from his palace on Mt. Tara. Patrick built a massive fire on the hill of Slaine ten miles away where he knew they would see it. What followed was similar to something out of the Old Testament. When he was brought before the king to answer for this outrage and pay for it with his life, Patrick warned the druids not to oppose what God was about to do for the people of Ireland. The legends say that at one point, a druid priest levitated high up off the ground through demonic power in an attempt to scare and intimidate Patrick. Patrick wasn't intimidated in the least but remained steadfast, rebuking this demonstration of evil and instead the priest was flipped upside down and his head was smashed into the ground. Unconvinced, the druids challenged Patrick to a dual - Patrick and one of their druid priests would walk through a roaring towering gauntlet of fire on either side and whoever came out unharmed had the more powerful god. Patrick came through without a singe while the druid priest was burned alive. The druid high king was so shaken that he gave Patrick permission to petition any of the petty kings in Ireland to preach the Gospel in their kingdoms. One by one every one of those kingdom's became Christian.

St. Patrick's focus was on the Trinity, it got me thinking how did that shift to the main focus being on praying God will send us a new St. Patricks for our time 🙏
