In honor of St. Patty's Day and in the spirit of Lent I came across this famous Irish saying, "Castles were built a stone at a time," paralleling 1 Peter 2:5 "be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." I love the month of March because year after year it allows us the opportunity to build upon our faith and nurture spiritual growth during Lent (as castles are built a stone at a time) as we humble ourselves, carving out time in our daily lives for fasting, almsgiving, and prayer.
Saint Patrick, Patron of Ireland, used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. He was a humble, pious, gentle man, whose love and total devotion to and trust in the Lord is inspiring. Here's a link to learn more about his road to canonization ... Saint Patrick
