God gives us life through the family , Jesus gives us the family , and we return it to him through the church.
The family is modeled after the Trinity. One Family but 3 persons – One God and 3 persons.
This is the best homily I have ever heard on St. Patrick (the Saint who I picked for my confirmation name) and the Irish people in general. It really makes you proud to be Irish because of the right reasons: our love for Jesus Christ and the Catholic Faith and our willingness to die defending same. Very edifying. Thank you.
St. Patrick was Italian!
