Some years later they met again. "Well, now, Mrs. O'Donovan," the priest said. "How are ye these days?" "Oh, very well," said she. "And tell me," he said. "Have ye any wee ones yet?" "Oh, yes, Father," Mrs. O'Donovan replied. "Three sets of twins and four singles -- 10 in all." "Aye, that's wonderful!" he said. "And how is your lovely husband?"
"Oh," she said. "E's gone to Rome to blow out yer candle!"

This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever. Sigmund Freud (about the Irish)
An Irishman arrived at J.F.K. Airport and wandered around the terminal with tears streaming down his cheeks. An airline employee asked him if he was already homesick. "No," replied the Irishman. "I've lost all me luggage!" "How'd that happen?" "The cork fell out!" said the Irishman. ---
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
So, if you want to be as old as Andrew Wilson, take this advice. And hike to the Blarney Rock, climb upon the top, proclaimyour gratitude for the coming of spring, and for some extra luck; leave a penny for the leprechauns.
I'M AN IRISH LEPRECHAUN

Behind a tree.

A wish I will grant as quick as can be!

THE LIFE OF ST. PATRICK By Cathy's Picnic
Most of the history of his life and his spiritualwritings was recorded by St. Patrick in the 'Confessio', his spiritual autobiography and one of his two short writings that have survived (a letter he wrote to Coroticus). The most interesting facts about St. Patrick are: he wasn't born in Ireland but in Britain; he was captured and spent part of his teen years as a slave in Ireland; his explanation of the Holy Trinity by using a clover; the defeat of the Druids; the name Patrick wasn't the name he was born with but given to him much later in life by Pope Celestine. It is said that St. Patrick's real name is Maewyn Succat.
St. Patrick was born in Kilpatrick, Scotland,in the year 387. His parents Calphurnius and Conchessa belonged to a Roman family of high rank. In his sixteenth year, Patrick was carried off into captivity by Irish marauders and was sold as a slave to a chieftain named Milchu in Dalaradia, a territory of the present county of Antrim inIreland, where for six years he tended his master's sheep flocks. Heacquired a perfect knowledge of the Celtic tongue in which he would oneday announce the tidings of Redemption, and, as his master Milchu was adruidical high priest, he became familiar with all the details ofDruidism.
He relates in his "Confessio" that during his captivity while tending the flocks he prayed many times in the day: "the love of God", he added, "and His fear increased in me more and more, and the faith grew in me, and the spirit was roused, so that, in asingle day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers, and in the night nearly the same, so that whilst in the woods and on the mountain, evenbefore the dawn, I was roused to prayer and felt no hurt from it, whether there was snow or ice or rain; nor was there any slothfulness in me, suchas I see now, because the spirit was then fervent within me."
After six years he fled from his cruel master. Here lates in his "Confessio" that he had to travel about 200 milesHe found a ship ready to set sail and after some rebuffs was allowed onboard. In a few days he was among his friends once more in Britain, butnow his heart was set on devoting himself to the service of God in thesacred ministry.
A couple of months after his escape he visited the St. Martin's monastery at Tours, and later the the island sanctuary of Lerins. Patrick placed himself under the guidance of a bishop, St.Germain. A few years later Patrick was promoted to the priesthood. Heengaged in various missionary works. He was chosen to accompany St.Germain to Britain to combat the erroneous teachings of Pelagius. He was privileged was his privilege to be associated with the representative ofRome in the triumphs that ensued over heresy and Paganism, and in the many remarkable events of the expedition, such as the miraculous calming of thetempest at sea, the visit to the relics at St. Alban's shrine, and the Alleluia victory. He stayed in Britain for eighteen years
The Life of St. Patrick. During those years, Patrick's thoughts turned towards Ireland. He would often speak of his experiences in Ireland withhis mentor St. Germain, Bishop of Auxerre. The bishop recommended Patrickto the pope and traveled to Rome. It was only shortly before his deaththat Pope Celestine entrusted Patrick with the mission of bringingChristianity to Ireland and on that occasion bestowed on him many relicsand other spiritual gifts, and gave him the name "Patercius" or "Patritius".This name is derived from two Latin words pater civium meaning the fatherof his people.
It was probably in the summer months of the year 1433, that Patrick and his companions landed at the mouth of the Vantry River close by Wicklow Head. The Druids were at once in arms against him.There are many legends of miracles and magical fights between him and thedruids. For example:
St. Patrick continued his journey over land towards Slemish. He had not proceeded far when a chieftain, named Dichu, appeared on the scene to prevent his further advance. He drew his sword tokill the saint, but his arm became rigid as a statue and continued sountil he declared himself obedient to Patrick. Overcome by the saint's meekness and miracles, Dichu asked for instruction and made a gift of alarge sabhall (barn). This was the first sanctuary dedicated by St.Patrick.
The druids by their incantations over spread the hill and surrounding plain with a cloud of worse then Egyptian darkness.Patrick defied them to remove that cloud, and when all their efforts weremade in vain, at his prayer the sun sent forth its rays and the brightest sunshine lit up the scene.
By demoniac power the Arch-Druid Lochru was liftedup high in the air, but when Patrick knelt in prayer the druid from hisflight was dashed to pieces upon a rock.
He was able to easily spread the word of Christianity because of his knowledge of the Celtic language. It took himseveral years to destroy paganism in Ireland. He conquered one kingdomafter another. He survived several death threats. He tells us in his "Confessio"that no fewer than twelve times he and his companions were seized andcarried off as captives, and on one occasion in particular he was loadedwith chains, and his death was decreed. It is on account of the many hardships which he endured that he is also honored as a martyr.
The greatest legend of St. Patrick is the use ofthe shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. On a Easter Sunday St. Patrick plucked a shamrock from the ground and explained by its triple leaf andsingle stem, in some rough way, to the assembled chieftains, the greatdoctrine of the Blessed Trinity. Another legend is that he banished allsnakes from Ireland.
St. Patrick continued until his death to visit and watch over the churches which he had founded in all the provinces inIreland. Despite a constant threat to his life, Patrick traveled widely, baptizing, confirming, and preaching and building churches, schools, andmonasteries. Patrick succeeded in converting almost the entire population of the island. His 'Epistola' pleads the case of the Christian Irish atthe hands of their British conquerors. Patrick's writings have come to beappreciated for their simplicity and humility. He comforted the faithfulin their difficulties, strengthened them in the Faith and in the practiceof virtue, and appointed pastors to continue his work among them. It isrecorded that he consecrated no fewer than 350 bishops.
St. Patrick died at Saul, Down patrick, Ireland, on the 17 March, 460 A.D. This is why we celebrate St. Patrick's Day on theseventeenth of March. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. ~~ SOURCE of The Life of St. Patrick: Catholic Encyclopedia, 1997. Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, 1995.
