Stand Firm in the Lord

It is not hard to imagine, in this age of wars, evil groups bent on the destruction of humanity, and po-litical follies, that the words of Saint Paul were so accurate, even for his time. It seems that the world never changes. Paul says, “Many . . . conduct them-selves as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is their destruction . . . Their minds are occupied with earthly things” (Philippians 3:18, 19). The result is the destruction of innocent people and of the Earth itself. But Paul says to the Philippians, “our citizen-ship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (3:20). He will “change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body” (3:21). Note that he says “body” rather than “bodies.” He is talking about the whole community of believers, who, following the example of Jesus and of Paul, will come into the glory of God. So “stand firm in the Lord” (4:1). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Saint Patrick’s Story – March 17

Legends about Patrick abound; but truth is

best served by our seeing two solid qualities in him: He was humble and he was courageous. The determination to accept suffering and suc-cess with equal indifference guided the life of God’s instrument for winning most of Ireland for Christ.

Details of his life are uncertain. Current research places his dates of birth and death a lit-tle later than earlier accounts. Patrick may have been born in Dunbarton, Scotland, Cumberland, England, or in northern Wales. He called himself both a Roman and a Briton. At 16, he and a large number of his father’s slaves and vassals were captured by Irish raiders and sold as slaves in Ireland. Forced to work as a shepherd, he suf-fered greatly from hunger and cold.

After six years Patrick escaped, probably to France, and later returned to Britain at the age of 22. His captivity had meant spiritual conver-sion. He may have studied at Lerins, off the French coast; he spent years at Auxerre, France, and was consecrated bishop at the age of 43. His great desire was to proclaim the good news to the Irish.

In a dream vision it seemed “all the chil-dren of Ireland from their mothers’ wombs were stretching out their hands” to him. He under-stood the vision to be a call to do mission work in pagan Ireland. Despite opposition from those who felt his education had been defective, he was sent to carry out the task. He went to the west and north–where the faith had never been preached–obtained the protection of local kings, and made numerous converts.

Because of the island’s pagan back-ground, Patrick was emphatic in encouraging widows to remain chaste and young women to consecrate their virginity to Christ. He ordained

many priests, divided the country into dioceses, held Church councils, founded several monaster-ies and continually urged his people to greater holiness in Christ.

He suffered much opposition from pagan druids and was criticized in both England and Ireland for the way he conducted his mission. In a relatively short time, the island had experi-enced deeply the Christian spirit, and was pre-pared to send out missionaries whose efforts were greatly responsible for Christianizing Eu-rope.

Patrick was a man of action, with little inclination toward learning. He had a rock-like belief in his vocation, in the cause he had es-poused. One of the few certainly authentic writ-ings is his Confessio, above all an act of homage to God for having called Patrick, unworthy sin-ner, to the apostolate.

There is hope rather than irony in the fact that his burial place is said to be in County Down in Northern Ireland, long the scene of strife and violence.

Reflection

What distinguishes Patrick is the durabil-

ity of his efforts. When one considers the state of Ireland when he began his mission work, the vast extent of his labors, and how the seeds he plant-ed continued to grow and flourish, one can only admire the kind of man Patrick must have been. The holiness of a person is known only by the fruits of his or her work. Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of engi-neers, Ireland and Nigeria.
