I know lots of people who are this combination and it's dangerous - first they get their Irish up, then their German stubbornness kicks in. YIKES!

How about some of the Irish saints, st patrick is the first one that most people think of, there is all that fluff about the snakes etc. his most importanat contribution to catholicism in my opinion is the Breastplate of St Patrick.

[center][font="OldEnglish"][size="7"][color="#0000ff"]I[/color][/size][/font][size="4"][color="#000080"][b] bind unto myself the power
Of the great love of the cherubim;
The sweet 'well done' in judgment hour,

The Patriarchs' prayers, the Prophets' scrolls,
All good deeds done unto the Lord,
And purity of virgin souls.[/b][/color][/size][/center]

The virtues of the starlit heaven,
The glorious sun's life-giving ray,

The flashing of the lightning free,
The whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the deep salt sea,
Around the old eternal rocks.[/color][/size][/b][/center]

The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward,
The word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.[/b][/color][/size][/center]

The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile men that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In every place and in all hours,
Against their fierce hostility,
I bind to me these holy powers.[/color][/size][/b][/center]
[center][font="OldEnglish"][size="7"][color="#0000ff"]A[/color][/size][/font][size="4"][color="#000080"][b]gainst all Satan's spells and wiles,
Against false words of heresy,

Against the heart's idolatry,
Against the wizard's evil craft,
Against the death wound and the burning,
The choking wave and the poisoned shaft,
Protect me, Christ, till Thy returning.[/b][/color][/size][/center]

Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.[/color][/size][/b][/center]

Salvation is of Christ the Lord.[/b][/color][/size][/center]

Can't go wrong with the Dubliners

How did we get this far into the thread without 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley'?

I shall have ta remedy that....

"The Wind That Shakes the Barley" is an Irish ballad written by Robert Dwyer Joyce (1836-1883), a Limerick-born poet and professor of English literature. The song is written from the perspective of a doomed young Wexford rebel who is about to sacrifice his relationship with his loved one and plunge into the cauldron of violence associated with the 1798 rebellion in Ireland. The references to barley in the song derive from the fact that the rebels often carried barley oats in their pockets as provisions for when on the march. This gave rise to the post-rebellion phenomenon of barley growing and marking the "croppy-holes," mass unmarked graves which slain rebels were thrown into, symbolising the regenerative nature of Irish resistance to British rule.

And, again, there's a movie by this title.....

That movie makes me hate the Brits more than I already do. They never conquered us though. We outsmarted them all!

What I want to know is: How do the Irish shower in the bushes like that?

[MithLuin]

That was one of the first videos I linked, [b]Ed[/b]
The version of that prayer I know is the one Fr. Hardon put together.

There is also St. Patrick's contemporary, St. Brigid. She was the daughter of a pagan father, and because of her Christian faith, she would give away his belongings to beggars. As you can imagine, that didn't go over well! She was the founder of female monasticism in Ireland.

And St. Brendan the Navigator.

And St. Dymphna, who was beheaded by her father and is the patron saint of the insane.

But really, there are [url=http://www.namenerds.com/irish/saint.html]hundreds[/url] of Irish saints. They saved the Christian faith from falling into obscurity during the early Middle Ages by returning monasticism to continental Europe. That's right - the Irish have always been great missionaries!

Hello...

[MithLuin]

The use of the term 'indentured servitude' is not meant to white-wash the practice of slavery, but to make a legal distinction as to the status of the person. Obviously, there [i]was[/i] a difference, because the Irish did not remain slaves, while the Africans [i]did[/i].
