An American Twist on Traditional Irish Fare
|
|
We love St Patrick's Day around here!
Always have.
Always will.
We love reading the stories of St. Patrick and remembering that God calls every believer, like Patrick, to share the Good News of the Gospel with all people, even those who persecute us.
While our boys have great gobs of Irish blood pumping through their veins, they are as American as American can be. So every year I make our Traditional Irish Fare with an American Twist! Here's my menu...

Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Salvation is of the Lord.
(From Saint Patrick's Breastplate)
