On behalf of Saint Patrick’s Day, and since I’m Irish, and because I had the privilege of touring the northern part of Ireland with a group of Newman Center students in 2005, here are some photos we took that show just how idyllic the country really is.
If you can, go there. Immerse yourself. Visit the holy places. Visit the historic places. But most importantly, meet the people and share a pint with them.
Before you go, read this reflection, “Praying St. Patrick’s Breastplate”, by my buddy Pat Gohn on Patheos.com.
NewAdvent.org has the whole prayer and whole bunch of information about St. Patrick here.
Oh! The background caught me off guard! I recognize the tower from the sheep picture 🙂
I want to go to Ireland. Last week I wanted to go to Guatemala.
Have you been to the moon? Because that would just make me crazy.
also, I hate typos.
Thanks for the link, good buddy! Hope you enjoyed a Guinness or something in honor o’ the day!
We had Harp, Smithwicks, and a great Guinness chocolate cake. I’d say we covered the bases pretty well.
