Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Patrick and His Gallic Friends AT this present time, when the British and Irish tr00ps and our French allies are united in the field against a common foe, it is well to remember the early connexion between the Churches of Britain, Ireland, and Gaul. This little book has been written to remind all whom it may concern of the time when Gallican bishops came over to help the British Church in its difficulties, and when Gallican bishops educated, trained and consecrated a bishop who was afterwards universally regarded as the N ational Saint of Ireland. It is pleasant to think that British and Irish soldiers and sailors are at present giving their lives to save the ancient home of Martin, Honoratus, Germanns, Orientius, and other Gallican Saints, whose influence, direct and indirect, upon British and Celtic Christianity demands our lasting gratitude. In the following pages a short account will be given of some of these early Gallican teachers who generously assisted our native Churches in their struggle with paganism and heresy, and more particularly of the manner in which the mind and character of St. Patrick was moulded and developed under the kindly influence of the great teachers of the Gallic Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT is uncertain when Christianity was introduced into Ireland. We know that the Britons were converted very early and that there was a Church in Britain in the fourth century which was in constant touch with the Church of Gaul. For the Council of Arles (A.D. 314) was attended by three British Bishops—Eborius of York, Restitutus of London, Adelphius of Lincoln, with Sacerdos, a presbyter, and Arminius, a deacon; and in the Council of Ariminium (A.D. 359) more than three British Bishops also took part. There is a statement in Eusebius that the Apostles went so far as the so-called British Islands, and Chrysostom says “the British Isles felt the power of the Word.” and “if you go to the British Isles you will hear men discussing the Scriptures.” Gildas mentions three British martyrs—Albanus, Aaron, and Julius—who suffered martyrdom with many others in the persecution of Diocletian (303–311). It is hardly credible, then, that this ancient British Church, which was in existence and fully organized at least three hundred years before the landing of Augustine in the Isle of Thanet (A.D. 597), would have left Ireland neglected until A.D. 432, when Patrick landed at Inverdea by the mouth of the present River Vartry, then the Dee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book St. Patrick testifies to us of his conversion, trials, and tribulations in seeking, surrendering, and suffering for Christ. Even though most of us do not dare attempt to aspire to reach the heights of St. Patrick, it is important to realize that God made each and every person an individual - not to be like another - but rather to be like Christ. He made each person unique and endows each of us with different gifts and graces. This is why we study and admire other followers of Christ but we are not to try to be exactly like another. In growing in virtue - yes. But God has a very specific wills and assignments for each of us. Nevertheless it is helpful to study and reflect on the virtues of others like St. Patrick.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Times of St. Patrick It was a town in Strath Clyde, and almost cer tainly identical with the modern Dumbarton. That it was a Roman town and of some import ance, we gather from the fact that it had a 0 municipal council, Patrick'sfather, C'alpurnius, having been a town councillor. Born before clerical celibacy had become the fashion, Patrick came of a clerical stock, his father, al though a town councillor, having been a deacon, and his grandfather a p-resbyter, whilst his mother is alleged to have been sister to a bishop. How or when Christianity had reached that part of the world is not known; but from the prevailing type of it found there, high authorities hold that it was introduced by Christian soldiers from Gaul in. The Roman army of occupation. On his father's farm of sixteen acres it is believed that Patrick lived' till he was sixteen. He had got a religious training both from his parents and Christian pastors, but tells us frankly that he knew not the true God, and also acknowledges that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legends of Saint Patrick Tudor should be read by all who have read Tennyson's play on the same subject. The gift of genius passed from Sir Aubrey to his third son, Aubrey Thomas de Vere, who was born in 1814, and through a long life has put into music only noble thoughts associated with the love of God and man, and of his native land; -his first work, published forty-seven years ago, was a lyrical piece, in which he gave his sympathy to devout and per scouted men whose ways of thought were not his own. Aubrey de Vere's poems have been from time to time revised by himself, and they were in 1884 finally collected into three volumes, pub lished by Messrs. Kegan Paul. Left free to choose from among their various contents, I have taken this little book of Legends of St. Patrick, first published in 187 2, but in so doing I have un willingly left many a piece that would please many a reader.

Download or read book The Confession of Saint Patrick written by John Skinner and published by Image. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autobiography of one of the most popular saints in history, now available in a new translation. Beyond being recognized as the patron saint of Ireland (perhaps for having chased some nonexistent snakes off the Emerald Isle), little else is popularly known about Saint Patrick. And yet, Patrick left behind a unique document, his Confession, which tells us much about both his life and his beliefs. This autobiography, originally written in the fifth century, and short by modern standards, is nonetheless a work that fascinates with its glimpse into the life of an intriguing man, and inspires with its testament of faith. Here, in this new edition from internationally acclaimed translator John Skinner, the character of Patrick, his era, and his world vividly come to life. Also included in this volume is the only other document known to have been written by Patrick, a letter he wrote to the soldiers of Coroticus--also Christians--who had raided parts of Ireland and taken away prisoners who were then sold into slavery. This letter is a wonderful demonstration of Patrick's rhetorical fire. Quite irate, Patrick harangues his fellow Christians, and the results are every bit as autobiographically revealing as the Confession. John O'Donohue, author of Anam Cara, provides an insightful foreword that re-creates the unique spirituality of Patrick and of the Irish people, and shows how it applies to our lives today.

Download or read book A Time of Gifts written by Patrick Leigh Fermor and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-09-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beloved account about an intrepid young Englishman on the first leg of his walk from London to Constantinople is simply one of the best works of travel literature ever written. At the age of eighteen, Patrick Leigh Fermor set off from the heart of London on an epic journey—to walk to Constantinople. A Time of Gifts is the rich account of his adventures as far as Hungary, after which Between the Woods and the Water continues the story to the Iron Gates that divide the Carpathian and Balkan mountains. Acclaimed for its sweep and intelligence, Leigh Fermor’s book explores a remarkable moment in time. Hitler has just come to power but war is still ahead, as he walks through a Europe soon to be forever changed—through the Lowlands to Mitteleuropa, to Teutonic and Slav heartlands, through the baroque remains of the Holy Roman Empire; up the Rhine, and down to the Danube. At once a memoir of coming-of-age, an account of a journey, and a dazzling exposition of the English language, A Time of Gifts is also a portrait of a continent already showing ominous signs of the holocaust to come.
