The Lord can clear the darkest skies, can give you day for night. Make drops of sacred sorrow rise to rivers of delight.

St. Paddy's Day-ly Blessing                        
 
The Chicago river dyed green for St. Patrick's day. 
Green beer, shamrock shakes, corned beef and cabbage, and the luck o' the Irish. What's not to love about St. Patrick's Day?!! We'll name a few: Excess. Wishes not prayers. Artificial coloring and sweetners. If you think it sounds a bit curmudgeon, we are deeply sorry. May you be blessed with the true spirit of a saint. Be a teacher in word and deeds. Develop a sense of humility. Live in kindness. Give to others. Pray for redemption from your sins and shortcomings. Cherish the holiness God gives you.
3 Quotes from the {real} Saint Patrick {NOT the leprechaun}
 
"No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small, according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion, and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God." 
 "If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me."
"I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many." 
~ Saint Patrick
