Last weekend when I walked into the grocery store, I saw green bagels. For a moment, I thought they had gone bad and wondered how the management could have let them be put on display. Then I looked around and saw balloons with shamrocks on them and realized that the bagels had simply been dyed a sickening green in light of March 17. I almost said that they were dyed green to honor St Patrick's day, but I realized that honoring the patron saint of Ireland and the Faith for which he labored was most likely the last thing on their minds.
A few years back I published this post, lamenting the trivialization of St Patrick and his feast day. Please read it. Now for an account of Catholics truly honoring St. Patrick.
I am happy to relay this story to you from LifeSiteNews, regarding the street activism of Catholics in Ireland who are protesting that country's ridiculous shutdowns. We know that in recent years, Ireland as a nation has abandoned the One True Faith. These Catholics will speak for the Faith on March 17 as they protest both the lockdowns and the government's embrace of baby-slaughter.
Pray for our fellow Catholics in Ireland, that this protest be instrumental in turning that country around. Moreover, let us take opportunities to speak the truth in our own communities.
