The Feast of Patrick of Ireland
Bishop & Apostle to the Irish
Almighty and everlasting God, you called your servant Patrick of Ireland to preach the Gospel to the people of Ireland: Raise up in this and every land evangelists and heralds of your kingdom, that your Church may proclaim the unsearchable riches of our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Let us give thanks to God our Father for all his gifts so freely bestowed upon us: For the beauty and wonder of your creation, in earth and sky and sea, We thank you, Lord. For our daily food and drink, our homes and families, and our friends, We thank you, Lord. For minds to think, and hearts to love, and hands to serve, We thank you, Lord. For health and strength to work, and time to rest and worship, We thank you, Lord. For all who are patient in suffering and faithful in adversity, We thank you, Lord. For all who earnestly seek after truth, and all who labor for justice, We thank you, Lord. For all that is good and gracious in the lives of men and women, revealing the image of Christ, We thank you, Lord. For the communion of saints, in all times and places, We thank you, Lord. Above all, we give you thanks for the great mercies and promises given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord; To him be praise and glory, with you, O Father, and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen
