St. Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Contrary to popular belief, he wasn’t Irish. He was born around A.D. 375 in Britain, probably somewhere in Scotland, though the exact date and place are unknown.

When he was 16, St. Patrick was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland to herd and tend sheep.

After six years in captivity, he escaped after having a dream sent by God, telling him to leave Ireland by going to the coast where he would find a ship waiting to sail to Britain.

He later became a priest and a bishop and is known for two short works: Confessio and Letter to Coroticus.

After overcoming doubts, and motivated by a deep sense of purpose, he returned to Ireland, where he preached and converted people for 40 years, amid opposition and formidable difficulties—not a small accomplishment, given the circumstances at that time.

As you can see, St. Patrick’s life and spiritual quest were guided by a strong sense of purpose. Difficulties and obstacles didn’t matter. They just made him stronger and helped him to achieve what he set out to do: share the gospel across Ireland.

Although most people nowadays know St. Patrick thanks to the popular parades that are held all over the world to celebrate Irishness (not to mention the custom of raising a glass of green beer to the saint), there are several interesting facts that guided his life and that we could all learn from to do better in our own lives.

It is living our lives by modeling good values.

The season of Lent began on Wednesday, February 17th.

God is calling his people to fast from injustice – to set free those who are oppressed, to feed the hungry and to clothe the naked. These are big-picture problems that we all need to work together to solve. But what about fasting from the smaller injustices we might commit against the people we interact with each day?

A fast from gossip. Gossiping is an act of injustice because we are, in a sense, stealing the reputation of another person. This can also be the case even if what we say turns out to be true.

A fast from criticism. Constructive criticism can help us to grow, but when it’s not constructive, it tears people down and strikes at their dignity and self-image.

A fast from complaining. When we complain, we end up feeling only more unhappy and discontented. It also has an effect on the people around us, bringing them down and contributing to a negative atmosphere in our homes or workplaces.

A fast from grudges. When we hold a grudge against someone, we are keeping that person captive to the wound they have caused us. We are also holding ourselves prisoners to feelings that harden our hearts over time.

If all sounds overwhelming, try approaching it from a difference direction. How about turning your fasts into feasts. Think about how you can replace negative behaviors with acts of love and kindness.

Instead of gossiping, you could feast on silence and and discretion.

Instead of criticizing you could feast on affirming people.

Instead of complaining, you can feast on counting your blessing and sharing them.

Instead of holding grudges, you can feast on forgiveness.

Remember, you don’t have to do any of this alone. Just as God promised to answer his people’s cries for help, so will he answer your (Isiah 58:9) Trust that this Lent, he will give you all the grace you need to fast– and to feast!
