FIGHTING THROUGH=OUR HARD TIMES
We certainly
Have some HARD TIMES
In our world today
But so did Saint Patrick
And he FOUGHT
And prayed HIS WAY
All through them
His life is an
INSPIRATION to all of us=
He TRUSTED in the Lord
THROUGH ALL=THE HARD TIMES
He STAYED GREEN=
Which is
The color of HOPE
“Blessed is the man-
Who TRUSTS in the Lord
Whose hope=is the Lord
He is=like a tree
Planted beside the waters
That stretches out its roots
In the stream
It fears NOT
The heat=when it comes
Its leaves=STAY GREEN
In the year of drought
It shows no distress
And still bears fruit”
Jeremiah 17:7-8
FIGHTING THROUGHT THE HARD TIMES
Like Saint Patrick=
And bearing fruit=for the world
Saint Patrick was CAPTURED
By pirates at 16
And FORCED into servitude
In the land of IRELAND
He dreamed of escape
To his OLD HOME=
Clinging to his FAITH-
Throughout his ordeal=
He escaped and returned home
But he CAME BACK
To Ireland=became a bishop
And worked to
CONVERT the pagans of Ireland
Having FAITH through it all=
FIGHTING THROUGH=the hard times
OF LIFE
“All the ways
Of the Lord
Are loving and FAITHFUL
Toward those
Who keep the commands
Of the covenant” Psalm
25:10
“Be joyful in hope-
Patient in affliction
FAITHFUL IN PRAYER”
Romans 12:12
Saint Patrick=is like
The tree Jeremiah describes
He STAYS GREEN
And faithful=and FIFGHTS THROUGH
THE HARD TIMES=of life
May we all=DO THE SAME=
Saint Patrick=Pray for us
That we can BEAR FRUIT
Just like you
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever GREEN and
FAITHFUL=Holy Father God!
