Saint Patrick

“Sufficient for me is that honour which is not seen of men but is felt in the heart, as faithful is He who hath promised and who never lies.”

“On occasion, I used to give presents to the kings, besides the hire that I gave to to their sons who accompany me; and nevertheless, they seized me with my companions.”

“I partly know why I have not led a perfect life like other believers. But I avow to my Lord, and I do not lie, that from the time when I first knew him, the love of God and the fear of him has grown in me from my youth so that I have, by the power of God, always till now kept the faith.”

“I have a Creator who knew all things, even before they were made - even me, his poor little child.”
