Saint Patrick's Well

To the Family in Eireland

 

I live in the shadow of Saint Patrick, the one who brought the Faith to Eire. With all the celebration that over- shadows why He came to Eire; in order to point us to the Triune God, as he picked a shammrock to explain. Though it has three leaves it is yet one, the same is true of God; Three persons yet in essence one, Father, Spirit and the Son.

 

A well for the thirsty, a well for those seeking to be renewed with the Peace of God to be embraced by drinking from Saint Patrick's well. The Well is the Spirit flowing from underneath God the Father's throne, so take and drink you thirsty ones who long for a living peace, this well springs eternally from our Savior's side and will never cease. No sin to big or little be that can be washed away in its tide.

 

What a shadow do I fall under, where only Faith can dwell; as I reach ever more deeply into Saint Patrick's well.

Sword of Connemara

The stone of green in the land of the west once lived and shone forth great light. For those who would use it or fashion it must be of Highest Valor blest. Be forewarned and these three possess: The Light of Truth is number one, by which the Liar's harm is undone. The Light of Virtue is number two; Vice is vanquished by its might. The Light of Faith, Hope and Love are number three; it is Love that binds these into One.

 

The door opens only for the One o of Highest Valor blest and they shall find their own rewards, none can take it without the Sword. In the twilight facing North, raise your arms and bid it come; if truly righteous you shall be receive the Sword of Connemara it was meant for thee.
