When Irish Eyes Are Smiling . . .

On this wonderful day, I wish all those who are of Irish Heritage and all who are Irish just for today, a wonderful St. Patrick's Day.  This is truly a beautiful day which will hopefully be filled with blessings for each of you.

I pray too, for the people of Ireland.  I pray that God will pour upon them the graces they need to be faithful.  Economic success, modern technology and all kinds of "progress" in today's world are not always faith - full.    We all need to recognize when our culture is pulling us away from our faith, and today, I pray that those in the Emerald Isle will return to God, just as I pray that we, in our own country, will do the same.

May the peace of Christ reign in our land.  May the peace of Christ reign in our hearts.  This is my prayer today.  HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
