Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Postcard from 1912.


God our Father
You sent Saint Patrick
to preach your glory to the people of Ireland.
By the help of his prayers,
may all Christians proclaim your love to all men.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.


(Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the Hours)

Let us pray that all celebrations and parades remain peaceful on this the feast day of the saint.

  2. MA, thanks. We have an Irish name, but not a drop of Irish blood that I'm aware of. Grandpère was adopted by a man of Irish heritage.

  4. We've had a quiet St. Pat's here. Of course, I didn't go near the Shamrock Pub. I must be getting old.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day.
