This St. Patrick's Day set aside, for a moment, the shamrocks, snakes, green beer, Touchdown Jesus, and river dancing. Engage, if you will, the authentic, towering figure of what was once Irish Christian culture: St. Patrick, a noble son of Roman Britain, possibly an atheist from his youngest days, and a grievous sinner as related in his public confession. He was a captured slave who found God in the solitude of a foreign, barbaric land without family, friends or social intercourse for six years.Read it all, before your corned beef and suds gluttony. Did ya miss that link? Here it is again.
And: St. Patrick for adults.
But I know you, so hey, it's a Bushmill's day, not a Jameson's day. Jameson's is Protestant whiskey, Bushmill's Roman, so toast right.
