In this book St. Patrick testifies to us of his conversion, trials, and tribulations in seeking, surrendering, and suffering for Christ. Even though most of us do not dare attempt to aspire to reach the heights of St. Patrick, it is important to realize that God made each and every person an individual - not to be like another - but rather to be like Christ. He made each person unique and endows each of us with different gifts and graces. This is why we study and admire other followers of Christ but we are not to try to be exactly like another. In growing in virtue - yes. But God has a very specific wills and assignments for each of us. Nevertheless it is helpful to study and reflect on the virtues of others like St. Patrick.

Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-the-apostles and Enlightener of Ireland. This volume contains The Confession of St. Patrick, an autobiography written in the fifth century. It provides details of his life and beliefs. This classic continues to fascinate and inspire many. The book also contains St. Patrick's Epistle to Coroticus; a letter written by Patrick after he had lived and worked as a bishop in Ireland for many years. It is a scathing letter St. Patrick wrote to British tyrant Coroticus and the British Christians condemning the kidnap and killing of Christian converts. St. Patrick repeatedly uses scripture to strengthen his argument against Coroticus and to implore his men and followers to change their ways. The volume also contains St. Fiech's Metrical Life of St. Patrick and Tripartite Life of St. Patrick: Parts I, II, and III.

The autobiography of one of the most popular saints in history, now available in a new translation. Beyond being recognized as the patron saint of Ireland (perhaps for having chased some nonexistent snakes off the Emerald Isle), little else is popularly known about Saint Patrick. And yet, Patrick left behind a unique document, his Confession, which tells us much about both his life and his beliefs. This autobiography, originally written in the fifth century, and short by modern standards, is nonetheless a work that fascinates with its glimpse into the life of an intriguing man, and inspires with its testament of faith. Here, in this new edition from internationally acclaimed translator John Skinner, the character of Patrick, his era, and his world vividly come to life. Also included in this volume is the only other document known to have been written by Patrick, a letter he wrote to the soldiers of Coroticus--also Christians--who had raided parts of Ireland and taken away prisoners who were then sold into slavery. This letter is a wonderful demonstration of Patrick's rhetorical fire. Quite irate, Patrick harangues his fellow Christians, and the results are every bit as autobiographically revealing as the Confession. John O'Donohue, author of Anam Cara, provides an insightful foreword that re-creates the unique spirituality of Patrick and of the Irish people, and shows how it applies to our lives today.

It has been remarked by Lord Bacon, in one of his happy illustrations, that time is like a river, which, as it flows on, bears on its surface only what is light and trivial, while all that is solid and valuable sinks beneath its waters. The history of St. Patrick is an instance of the truth of this observation; his real character was for ages unknown; his name was associated, in the popular belief, only with puerile fables and ridiculous miracles, and no one thought of doubting that the doctrines which he taught were those of the modern Church of Rome.

Explore Patrick's place in history, the spread of Christianity beyond the Roman Empire, how Patrick first came to Ireland, the influence of the earlier Palladius on Patrick's work, political and social conditions at that time, and the spiritual battles with the Druids. This 21st century edition now includes notes from other biographers, mystics, historians, and storytellers of Ireland. The ideal place to begin any exploration of a much-loved but little-known saint. "Bury proves to be more than a mere dry historian; he turns out to be a fine storyteller as well, and his accounts of Patrick's spiritual duels with Druid priests for the heart and mind of the Irish king are quite gripping." —History Book Club "Editor-writer Sweeney gives Bury's 1905 biography of the legendary St. Patrick a greater contemporary context in this meticulously researched and presented work.... Bury wrote what Sweeney calls the ‘ideal modern biography' of Patrick.... Sweeney assembles and rearranges material from Bury's original work and incorporates more of Patrick's own words, from his Confession and Letter against Coroticus. Sweeney's light edits to Bury's text clarify exactly what Patrick did in Ireland, noting that although he did convert some pagan kingdoms, he also was responsible for organizing Christians who were already there and connecting the island with the church of the Roman Empire."

The only true apostle of Ireland who more or less converted the country single-handed? or A Christian bishop from the embattled edge of a crumbling empire? All that can really be known of Patrick comes from his authentic writings - the Confessio and the Epistola (Address to the Soldiers of Coroticus). Thomas O'Loughlin's engaging yet scholarly reflections on these fifth-century texts lead us into a greater understanding of the mind of Patrick, the man, believer and missionary. Explanatory notes woven through the translations illuminate a very different world and time; it is not long before we realize, however, that Patrick's theology is no less relevant to our own. Includes a full index of biblical references

IT has been remarked by Lord Bacon, in one of his happy illustrations, that time is like a river, which, as it flows on, bears on its surface only what is light and trivial, while all that is solid and valuable sinks beneath its waters. The history of St. Patrick is an instance of the truth of this observation; his real character was for ages unknown; his name was associated, in the popular belief, only with puerile fables and ridiculous miracles, and no one thought of doubting that the doctrines which he taught were those of the modern Church of Rome. Of late years, however, it has been otherwise, for extracts from his writings have been published, and other proofs given, that the popular traditions were unfounded, and he has been shown to have higher claims on our esteem and admiration that was at one time supposed. The source from which the most important evidence has been derived, is the Confession, which has been brought out of its obscurity, and many passages of great interest quoted from it, by various writers. But as these, however accurate they may be, will not supply the place of the work itself nor afford as satisfactory evidence to the inquirer, it cannot but be useful to render it accessible to the general reader, by means of an English translation; and to enable every one to judge for himself of the purity of the faith originally planted in Ireland. It was with this object that the following work was undertaken. The highest authorities at home and abroad consider it the genuine composition of St. Patrick. To this effect the learned Dr. O'Conor, when quoting the testimony of Mabillon in its favour, says, "with him agree Tillemont, Dupin, Ussher, and others, from whose judgment one should be rash, or rather mad, who would dissent, without the strongest reasons." To these may be added Sir H. Spelman, Dr. Petrie, who states it to be the general opinion of the learned, and Dr. Neander, whose valuable testimony is given in these words: "This work bears, in its simple, rude style, an impress that corresponds entirely to Patricius's stage of culture. There are to be found it in none of the traditions which, perhaps, proceeded only from English monks-nothing wonderful, except what may be very easily explained on psychological principles. All this vouches for the authenticity of the piece." The only writer of any learning who held a different opinion from these authorities, was Dr. Ledwich, who, having in his "Antiquities of Ireland," maintained the strange position, that no such person as St. Patrick ever existed, was obliged to treat this work as a forgery. His reasons for denying its authenticity are thus expressed: "No notice is taken of the education of our Apostle under St. Martin, Bishop of Tours, or his relationship to him; of his journeys on the Continent, and his advancement to the episcopate of Ireland by Pope Celestine." Now, to the former objections it is easy to reply, that the Confession is not a history of his life; and, therefore, we ought not to expect such details: and as to the last, so far from affording any ground for suspicion, it is one of the most satisfactory internal proofs of its authenticity; for, had it been a forgery of those later ages, when the mission of St. Patrick from Rome was invented, so important a circumstance in his history would not have been omitted. As Dr. Ledwich, when in search of objections to the Confession, could not find any better than these, it is evident that he was led to deny its authenticity, not by such frivolous pretences, but by his fancy that there was no such person as St. Patrick.
