Good Morning
Pig and me are all already for the day.
Pig and I were looking for
The Prayer of protection that St.Patrick would Pray.
This is just a part of many that is called :
St. Patrick's Breastplate: Divine Protection
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
Praying in JESUS NAME
AMEN
We are so excited to start our day.
Now ready to tell you about what happens next to St. Patrick.
When did Patrick say this Prayer
Pig asked?
Patrick was seeking GOD the
moment he got to Ireland.
As Patrick Prayed
To receive Jesus Christ as Savior to deliver him.
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
filled him and drew closer to him as Patrick
Accepted Christ as Savior.
As He says Christ within me.
He was Praying to GOD His Savior as he was cold and hungry and alone after he first got there.
He was then sent to the pastures to care for the sheep and the pigs too.
As St. Patrick Prayed he said in his diary's, that he stopped feeling the icy cold air and his hunger left him.
Patrick would Pray day and night without ceasing.
That means he didn't stop Praying Pig.
Most people don't know what to say after a minute to GOD.
But when you are in trouble Pig, the words just pour out of your Soul and Spirit.
We all know that as true.
Patrick looked up to the stars at night.
He saw the beauty and the marvelous work of what GOD had made.
Patrick grew to an understanding of HOW BIG GOD IS.
Just by looking up and seeing things around him whether day or night.
Now noticing life and trees and plants and flowers and animals in a different way.
All Creations made and thought up by GOD the Creator of All things.
Isaiah 40:28
I think Pig that is why going camping and just going outside, it is so important to see what GOD has made.
You Pig are a part of that .
I am? Pig said.
Well, in a way.
I think more if you were really alive and to be able to see life around you and to enjoy the air you breathe.
It's so fun to bring you outside and you help me look at things differently.
As if you were real.
Maybe not in the City to breathe the air but out a little bit and then to feel
the wind in your hair or in your case your fur.
The sun on your face and the feeling of warmth it brings to you all over.
The feeling of Peace and contentment.
Just like a bird sunning by a bird bath and having a great time.
I love that, Pig said.
I like watching the birds and the sky as you know I love doing that and the clouds.
I also like to look up because GOD says to do so.
Because why you ask?
As she kept talking.
He, JESUS, is coming back in the clouds and everyone will see him.
How that is?
I don't know? Pig said.
But HE said, HE is coming back and to look up.
So I do.
Funny Pig, I said.
I love that about you.
You are standing on THE WORD OF GOD and
You check and see if it's true in THE BIBLE.
Verse Luke 21-28
Great Chapters to be encouraged and to know JESUS is coming back soon.
To look up your redemption draweth nigh. The Old English in King James BIBLE way of saying it.
That means Pig, HE is coming back just like you said.
Pig nodded her head and then smiled.
So Pig,
The above Prayer gave Patrick strength and the Protection from evil that was all around him.
The Prayer helped Patrick focus on
GOD and GOD alone.
Pig asked, Did he still feel lonely ?
Not as much Pig.
In his diaries he said he was comforted and GOD was all he needed.
Pig asked, so he didn't miss his family?
Of course Pig he did, I said.
But the pain and the longing was gone and not so painful because GOD was with him.
Now let me tell you that St. Patrick had dreams.
In his diaries he said,
He could hear the voices calling him back to Ireland to share
The GOD of Salvation
The GOD of Peace.
Come back and teach us.
Patrick said to himself that he needed proper learning, to be able to teach the People of Ireland about GOD and HIS WORDS.
So he went to School in Auxxere and the Abbey there.
It took St Patrick 15 years to complete his studies.
With Conflicting stories of what Catholic Church but he did complete his learning and asked to go back to Ireland.
Patrick's mission would be that he would build Churches there.
After great opposition from the Church and times of waiting he was finally sent with a blessing to go.
However, The Church would be in the know of Patrick's way of doing things.
The way of his method of teaching.
He taught by illustrated sermons to the people that was much different from the formal way he was taught.
The reports given to the Catholic Church reflected a Pagan way to teach the People and Patrick received criticism.
Patrick was a free Spirit and he was home now among the People he grew to love.
Patrick taught the message of GOD with nature and with the three leaf clover
as the Trinity of the One GOD.
FATHER
HIS SON JESUS
AND
HOLY SPIRIT.
Then making the sign of the cross on his head and side to side over to his heart.
Making the sign of the cross on himself. Giving honor to JESUS and HIS SACRAFICE.
Patrick casted all his cares regarding the Church back to GOD.
Praying Peace to the Church and thier thoughts of him.
Patrick knew his mission and his destiny that was kept alive daily in his heart as if it was
on fire.
His challenge was Mauli The Chief and many others like the Clansmen and Druid Pirates there.
But GOD was with him and Patrick felt HIS PRESENCE.
When Patrick came back on the Island of Ireland,
he boldly went right into the enemy camp and announced his Presence there.
The Chief thought it was amusing as he could of killed him right there.
But oddly he had no desire to do so.
he Druid Pirates watched in amazement the boldness of Patrick as they listened to his words being shared by him.
That's GOD.
I told Pig and HIS HOLY SPIRIT AROUND HIM.
Protecting him and anointing him.
That means Pig, having the presence of GOD to speak boldly and with confidence.
With angels all around him. Pig was about to ask?
No, Pig you don't see the Angels you just know they are there.
Oh, Pig said.
And, you don't just go do that unless you are sent by GOD.
Pig said that made sense.
Pig said, it would be fun to see Angels. Maybe, I said.
Then Patrick let Cheif Maliu know he came to tell him about the real GOD of Creation and how Patrick cared about his Soul and he forgave him of all his cruelty to him.
The Chief stared at Patrick and said nothing, as he was surprised to hear these words.
Patrick continued looking right at him with boldness but with love as he said, that he wanted him to know JESUS.
THE SAVIOR of THE WORLD.
That JESUS THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD died on a Cross and was Raised up from Death after 3 days and lives even now
If you were to say YES.
and Believe this in your heart.
YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN FOR EVERTHING YOU EVER DID BAD
AS IF YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG.
and to know that
GOD LOVES YOU.
and Patrick said,
HE LIVES FOREVERMORE.
The King laugh and laughed and said your GOD, has to do more than that.
Then the Chief Mauli told him to GO.
As he was leaving Patrick told him that he would be building churches to help share the LOVE of GOD.
Patrick received an Acknowledgement From the King Mauli as he lifted his chin up but not exactly where would be ok, to begin building.
Some of the Druid Pirates that were around him were listening to what was said to their King leader.
They were so Amazed that the Cheif Mauli didn't kill him?
So, they started listening more to Patrick and his words of life and they liked what they heard and believed and helped him start building little churches.
Thats amazing, Pig said. I know Pig.
GOD is Amazing.
That was the beginning that would happen to begin the showdown of the Power of GOD.
The many Kings and Clans to prove
Their Idol worshipping GODs were not real and of their own making. Even though we know evil is real.
They were going to experience soon THE REAL GOD OF POWER.
Patrick's GOD.
CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.
and
THE GOD OF THE GIVER OF LIFE.
Do you remember Pig, the meeting of all the Clansmen in the Movie
BRAVE by Walt Disney?
The way they dressed and how they acted is a good reference except rougher.
There were witches and fairys and magic and dark forces.
Merida the daughter, was fearless and stood her ground and wanted changes to be made. She was Protected by the Good forces that were around her. The Movie did not say GOD.
Merida wanted change in Marriage rituals to choose instead of being told who to marry and then the changes in Power over the clans in leadership would be decided.
I only mention this as a reference of attitude and dress and culture.
Pig said, I like that Movie but thier were a lot of scary parts.
I liked the part where her Mother was saved.
They both realized how much they all loved each other.
Then the closer love of a family at the end of the movie.
I liked the Part when they gave bear hugs. Pig said.
Funny Pig.
I know why you said that.
They will have to watch that Movie now.
Pig said, Yep.
It started when St.Patrick made a fire on the hill called Tara.
Patrick made a fire to honor GOD and to Pray.
The CHEIF KING MAULI saw the fire.
He was hysterical because Patrick had made the first fire on the hill for their idol Worship.
He wanted to Kill Patrick.
By now Patrick had quite a following of The Chief King Mauli Pirates and they notified Patrick that trouble was coming and to flee for his life.
Patrick said, NO.
He told them: Send him a message to the KING MAULI LEADER that it was NOT done against him and he didn't know that this was what he does here.
St. Patrick said, He wanted to HONOR GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH and ALL CREATION even Him.
To Praise and GIVE HIM THANKS.
The message was sent and the response the same.
Death to Patrick was to be done.
Patrick said, In another message sent:
Tell the Chief Mauli The King and His Clans to come.
I will show you who is the REAL GOD IS,
and HIS POWER.
Bring up your Clansman your Druid Pirates and those that do the chanting and the calling of Your GODS.
Build a house of wood and set all your Charmers of your Diviners and Druids Pirates
And gather them together
And then call for your GOD to deliver you from the fire and to show himself.
We will see who is be the MOST POWERFUL
And I will do the same.
Then we will see
If it's your GOD OR MINE.
As this message was sent to King Cheif Mauli and the Clans thoughout the island of Ireland.
the challenged was accepted by the Chief.
There would be a day and time set and then the showdown.
The Druid Pirates that sided with Patrick Knew if this didn't work that they would see death too.
They felt some fear for Patrick and yet some calmness in their soul of confidence that Patrick would succeed.
Because of The Trust they had in The GOD of St. Patrick.
This is the story for today.
Hold on Pig.
I will tell you the rest of the story for tomorrow.
From Pig and me.
