Day 4: The return to Ireland

Day 4 attends to Patrick's return to Ireland as a missionary bishop, around 432.

The shepherd returns

Patrick returned not as a slave but as a bishop, with a mission from Pope Saint Celestine I. He spent the next thirty years preaching across Ireland.

Prayer

Saint Patrick, you who returned to your captors as a Catholic shepherd, teach me to forgive and to serve those who have hurt me. Amen.

Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
