Saint Patrick History
From The Legend Of Saint Patrick Itself
"It consists merely of the old stories retold, as far as may be in the light of modern research ; and its principal object is to introduce the inexperiencedreader to the study of St Patrick s life and times in such a manner that, should he be tempted to pursue that study further, he may at least find nothing of importance to unlearn." (p. viii)"St Patrick s right hand was often raised to bless, but, according to the chroniclers, his terrible left hand was just as often lifted to bring down a curse upon the wicked." (p. 4) "So, whether historical or not, these stories of St Patrick (sic), coming down to us as they do from remote antiquity, claim our respectful attention. Their origin is lost in the mists of that far-off time when Ireland s soil had been but lately trodden by the blessed feet of him who preached the gospel of peace to a grateful people; and when the shamrock, fresh from his holy hands, spoke in never-to-be-forgotten language of the truths of faith. Just as the shamrock symbolises the Three Persons in One God, so do these legends of St Patrick symbolise his gracious personality and his noble work." (p. 6) This history of Saint Patrick offers beautiful line drawings and portraits. As a bonus we offer free coloring pages to print both here on this website and with each download of St. Patrick Apostle of Ireland (1911). As a pdf download you can print this book and spiral bind it at an office supply store, print it on three-holed paper for your own binder, read it from your ereader, or copy and paste quotes to your own work! Fresh Saint Patrick History At Its Best!Finding a Saint Patrick history that doesn't have the disbelief that is found in so many current publications requires the help of St. Anthony! The story of St. Patrick begins with the story of his captivity as a child, his being led by God's grace to his escape, his education to become a priest and his assignment to give his life to the Irish people instructing them in the truths of the Catholic religion. His very symbol is the three leafed shamrock that he used to teach his congregations an easy way to think of the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity. Even as the leaflets are really distinct they remain one leaf. The Persons of the Blessed Trinity are really distinct yet they have the same Divine Nature, the very same truth learned in any Catholic catechism even today.

Saint Patricks Day HistoryCatholicism. Please include ad link. Story Of St. PatrickThe story of St. Patrick fills the early history of the Catholic Church in Ireland! May God bless his memory unto eternity!Butler's Lives of the Saints says about the Saint Patrick history that, "We, with Tillemont, chiefly confine ourselves to the saint's own writings, his Confession, and his letter to Corotic, which that judicious critic doubts not to be genuine. The style in both is the same; he is expressed in them to be the author; the Confession is quoted by all the quthors of his life, and the letter was written before the conversion of the Franks under King Clovis, in 496." Rev. Butler continues with a beautiful description of the story of St. Patrick in Ireland. Beware any Saint Patrick history that evokes a disbelief in its own word, even newer Butler's Lives! How can one trust any story that causes the reader to doubt what the author took pains to write? The Best Saint Patrick HistoryThe best Saint Patrick history then, is the one he wrote himself for the reasons Fr. Alban Butler gave in the previous quote. Beware the translations, though. Again there are those who have "translated" a work when they should have claimed a paraphrase. Beware the "life" some translators breath into their own creations! This is so important when reading Catholic books. How can you trust the story if the author doesn't!St. Patrick loves it best when we keep the Catholic Faith that he preached so well!
Ireland's Loyalty to the Mass by Father Augustine“It is the Mass that Matters”. The persecution of Ireland for hundreds of years, reduced to the most important factor, was the prohibition of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by the Protestant rulers in England. The history of this brutal and monstrous suppression is carefully chronicled in this little book. “The Mass is the very means He has given us to enable us to join with Him, and to share with Him in the Sacrifice of the Cross. The Mass . . . is the very life of the Church, the secret of her holiness and vitality. No wonder that the spirits of darkness should have inspired the heretic with hatred for the Mass, for they know that when they strike at the Mass they strike at the heart of the Church” (From the book’s Introduction). A taste of the heretic’s hatred for the Mass is found in the famous “Oath” required for Irishmen by their English rulers: “I _________, abhor, detest, and abjure the authority of the Pope. . . . I firmly believe and avow that no reverence is due to the Virgin Mary, or to any other saint in heaven . . . . I assert that no worship or reverence is due to the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, or to elements of bread and wine after consecration, by whomsoever that consecration may be made . . . .” Ireland’s adherence to the Faith and passionate devotion to the Mass proved to the whole world that religion is not “the opium of the people,” but a tonic that gives them strength to support every torture, and face even “death all day long.” “Woodcut” illustrations, sewn signatures of 60 lb. cream paper, hardcover, 228 pages.
