“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Saint Patrick and Saint Paul- sharing God’s love
Saint Patrick was not born in Ireland , although he is considered the Irish patron saint. He was born in Roman controlled Britain in the 4th century. Kidnapped and taken as a slave to Ireland, he later escaped, but returned as a missionary, bringing the Christian Gospel to Ireland.
Patrick arrived in Slane, Ireland on March 25, 433. There are several legends about what happened next, with the most prominent claiming he met the chieftan of one of the druid tribes, who tried to kill him.
After an intervention from God, Patrick was able to convert the chieftain and preach the Gospel throughout Ireland. There, he converted many people -eventually thousands – and he began building churches across the country.

Saint Paul, the Apostle Paul, was also a missionary to the part of the Roman world surrounding the eastern Mediterranean sea. Paul identified himself as a “slave of Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:1) .
Much of the new Testament contains Paul’s writings, including the letter written to the early Christians in Rome. Today Christians read, share, and memorize these verses which so aptly express the foundation of our faith- God’s unchanging love.

The graphic below features words from the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13, often called the Love chapter; it was a letter written to the Christians living in Corinth Greece. I visitied there in May 2022 and shot the photos you see above.
In this review of a personal memoir, I tell you about how an Irish family faced and coped with significant health challenges.
I Found My Tribe-a book review
In this memoir Ruth sways from the complexities of her life to the mundane, from acting stoic to distraught, from feeling in control to helpless; we feel what she feels as she navigates her fragile existence, torn between love for her husband but longing for him to be truly present in her life.

The story of St. Patrick is interesting — I did not know that he was actually from Britain and taken as a slave to Ireland. He must have been very brave and committed to evangelism to return to Ireland later as a missionary. Thank you for sharing this post in the Talent-Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 56.
