   The drinking and the related rowdy behavior would not be looked on with love and blessings by St. Patrick since it is more fitting for the pagans and their Druids. Satan appears to have wormed his way into the remembrance & celebration of the life and memory of a most earnest and one of the of humblest followers of our Lord and Savior. Let's put Lord Jesus first and then the celebration of the life of St. Patrick as one of His most loyal followers on Saint Patrick's Day. Does anyone think St. Patrick would want us to celebrate his memory with drunkiness and other heathen behavior?

   May the road rise up to meet you.
   May the wind be always at your back.
   May the sun shine warm upon your face;
   the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
   may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
   
   In memory of my Aunt whose body returning home to Ireland on St Patricks's day to be buried. Wish I could be there x

   A man meet and path;
   not by death, but according to our creator,
   To promotes us to the next level.
   St Patrick, we shall all meet in peace.

   Although I am Costa Rican, and my husband is American of Mexican and Native American descent, we share our Catholic faith with so many Irish people in the parishes we have moved thru in our lives, that we feel we are "Irish at Heart" also! two years ago we were blessed to move to Arroyo Grande, and be part of St. Patricks catholic Church here, and we have a great St Pat's Day Dinner shared by the whole parish at our parish hall with all the best corn beef, cabbage, potatoes and Irish beer in the land! We are so blessed to have our catholic traditions always mixed in with the best of food! the LORD is faithful in providing it all! "May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be ever at your back and until we meet again, May God hold you in the Palm of HIS hand." Irish Blessing ...in Spanish "Que el camino se levante a saludarte, que el viento siempre pegue en tu espalda, y hasta que nos volvamos a ver, que El Senor te guarde en la Palma de Sus Manos."

   What makes this day special for me for one is Saint Patrick and what his story is for all Christians ( Catholics ) .
   I love the symbolisms of the Irish , and their meanings
   I love making Irish soda bread and drinking tea and making it for my family as a tradition for Saint Patricks day along with corned beef and cabbage and I like to wear green
   I enjoy going to Mass to honor this special day
   I love listening to the music that is celtic , or the whistles of Ireland that make my heart feel so home and down to earth and of course the bag pipes artists , they still make my eyes water especially at parades and seeing the native garments , so beautiful
   I love watching and or seeing the lands of Ireland from movies or the PBS specials showing Ireland and the castles , the ocean , fishing .. mmm mmm
   I love the prayers of Saint Patrick ,
   I love the accents spoken from Ireland
   Every poem I have read I loved , what is there not to like about this special holy day ,
   God bless to all and may the sun rise up to greet you and kiss your face

   I have written many poems and have a copyright on them. I would like to share the following one with you.
   
   Gift from Above
   
   The greatest gift of all is love,
   sent to us from above.
   Love, Faith and Happiness are one in the same.
   Painting a picture of tranquility ready to frame.
   The greatest sentiment you can have,
   Is and will always be.
   The love within you for all to see.

    My husband and I have a special devotion to St. Patrick. Through our exploration of the history and heritage of my "other" country (in my twenties I learned that I am an Irish citizen through my father) we found our way home to the Catholic Church. You see, when an Evangelical protestant pastor and his wife begin to study Irish history, they soon find themselves studying Church history. Of course, that leads to the Church Fathers...and that leads straight into an RCIA program. Like our grandparents, my husband and I are now "Irish Catholics"...funny how that worked out!
    
    My family in Ireland cooks like Americans! But we still enjoy this quick Irish lunch favorite:
    
    Mix one can of chicken breast with one half can of corn. Stir in mayonnaise as you would for tuna sandwiches. Spread on bread and enjoy your "Chicken and Corn" sandwich.

    Oh lord our God, we ask u not to abandone us to our strength for we are weak, nor our wisdom for we are foolish, not even our knowledge for we dont much. But in all things, we seek ur guidance that it may be well with us

    Does the Catholic church recognize St. Patrick as a Saint?
