From our Missalette on this Holy Day
"Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, and to proclaim your greatness with due praise as we honour Saint Patrick.
For you drew him through daily prayer in captivity and hardship to know you as a loving Father.
You chose him out of all the world to return to the land of his captors, that they might acknowledge Jesus Christ, their Redeemer.
In the power of your Spirit you directed his paths to win the sons and daughters of the Irish to the service of the Triune God.
And so, with the Angels and Archangels, and with the great multitude of the Saints, we sing the hymn of your praise, as without end we acclaim:
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory."
