Saint Patrick

(3897-4617), called the Apostle of Ireland, Christian prelate.

O Succat, young lad of Britain
Your escape was God's own work
To Gaul, to be ordained a priest, you went
Succeeding Ireland's first bishop, St. Palladius
And the shamrock, you so effectively used
To spread the news
of The Trinity.

And we still can hear your chant, Lorica
in the Liber Hymnorum (Book of Hymns),
As we feast on March 17
O Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.

Thanks Newell, I am enjoying learning more,
and in fine poetic form, too.
