St Patrick's Day/Evangelium 2024 | THE BRENDAN OPTION 166

[@vivacristorey4363]

Father, I wasn't able to make it. In my defense, I live in Canada. I hope you'll still permit me to complain the odd time. Thank God for St Patrick and the Irish who were a great tool in saving civilization. Who knows what God will bring in the future?

[@sweetnsourchick1761]

Father, you are such a joy! I wish you were my parish priest! May you have a happy and holy St. Patrick's Day! 🇮🇪 🇺🇸 ☘

[@lorettagallagher9577]

Living on Long Island, New York, I look at St. Patrick's day as an opportunity to remember and to honor all the Irish Immigrants who struggled to come to this country and work and slaved to make this country great. As my ancestors where a part of. No face painting or green beer for me.

[@theresamartin3629]

Thank you Father. I wish I could be there. I live in the US. I know it will not disappoint! God bless you Father and to all.

[@triumphofihm525]

I love the wisdom of this priest

[@maireglynn6295]

Thank you St. Patrick. Please help save/ bless Ireland 🇮🇪.

[@Jmjemmanual]

Good morning Father Brendan, from Australia. The world should know the real Saint Patrick and celebrate the day in a very Holy Manner. All I want to is go to church and worship God along with Saint Patrick ❤❤❤ God bless you Father ❤❤❤

[@gearoid131]

Thank you Fr Brendan I always love listening to your talks straight to the point Godbless you

[@michelleburke5674]

Thank you for the talk Father Brendan. It is good to be reminded of the deep faith & courage of St Patrick in returning to a country where he was enslaved in order to preach the gospel of Christ out of love for the Irish people. His feast day should be a reminder to go to mass & to keep the faith that he kept & passed on to the Irish people. His mission has continued across the centuries & his fame as a patron saint of Ireland has inspired many others around the world due to Irish missionaries following in his footsteps of faith.

[@FrEdmundScott]

Many blessings to you from Canada, Father. I will keep the conference in my prayers. May Christ reign! Deacon Edmund

[@evangeliumireland6561]

Thanks a lot Fr. Brendan for this. Very much appreciated.

[@robertlambert7461]

Thank you Fr Brendan Great to listen to you again Some years ago I read St Patrick’s confessions and his letter to Coroticus God bless

[@seamusweber8298]

Thanks Father Brendan. St.Patrick must have been a very strong man to have endured what he went through. He persevered while working against great odds in what was a pagan country. We owe a great debt of gratitude to St.Patrick.

[@Kitiwake]

WAS a pagan country?

[@seamusweber8298]

@wolfthequarrelsome504 yes, Ireland was a pagan country when St.Patrick came to Ireland to preach Christianity.

With St. Patrick to God, Our Father. Viva Cristo Rey

Thank you for this message today Father

[@stritapadrepio]

Should be an evangelium for the 40s to 60s.

[@SamjoHagerty]

Great to see you back Father. It was only a matter of time. As a musician, a practicing Catholic, and Canadian Irish man living in Japan, I just had an a-ha moment. I've celebrated St. Patrick's Day for over 40 years through the great songs of Ireland, but after hearing your message here today, I do want to get to know St. Patrick (my namesake after my grandfather) better. I repsect your words and message. However, I love the music from Ireland, and better still, I love to sing and play those songs. You may know the title "Lord of the Dance." We had an International Mass here at St. Ignatius and that was the song we played and sang. Actually, we paid homage to St.Patrick on the day. So I'm a little torn. I regard St. Patrick as a saint, but I like to acknowlede the holiday through shared interest in the music of Ireland.

[@Kitiwake]

I read saint Patrick's Confessions. It's on line.

[@marymeehan2580]

Patrick had a wondrously close relationship with Christ - no wonder his Mission to the Irish had been more successful than those who came before him. Oh yes,he is very close to us ❤

[@fidelmamcbride4846]

planning to learn Our Father and Hail Mary in Irish if anyone can help me do this send message here its also my birthday and very proud to be a strong catholic in faith Happy Holy And Healthy St Patricks Day Father Brendan

Amen!!! Enough of the drinking and more of the praying and learning what Saint Patrick and Saint Joseph have to teach us. Thank you Father ....USA

[@josephjude1290]

Good analysis

[@joanwernick6359]

I wouldn't even have the faith if it not for Saint Patrick giving it to my ancestors.

Good video

[@larryluch8178]

Read up St Patrick’s breastplate- a muscular, powerful prayer. The little excerpt we are familiar with- Christ be beside me - is undervalued. Pray it sincerely this week. It is a profound prayer and worth praying daily. Thank you God and St Patrick.

[@ironymatt]

Amen

Im Irish living in Scotland. I feel St Patrick is very close to me, i always think of him and St Joseph terror of demons as very similar.

[@maireodonoghue428]

Had this been advertised in our Churches? We need to know of these meetings

[@Kitiwake]

A cupla focail would be good.

[@theresamarsh5326]

Dear fr, I just subscribe to your videos I've been thinking about it for a while now 😉 I have only subscribed to one other video and it's a French chief, I like to know what you think about the weather? 😅 Thank you for everything you have a good Easter dinner with the family and friends 😊 God bless you and your family and friends 💖 love and prayers for our priests and family our country and blessings to you my friend, from the north Cal USA!

[@derekmurray1462]

I’m just looking forward to st Patrick’s day mass to be honest, all the other crap that’s associated with it these days is of no interest to me, if it rains all day, that’s fine by me 😂

[@Jmjemmanual]

Yes we celebrate in the church with the Lord❤❤❤ God bless

[@davidsheehan7022]

Father Brendan, take care of yourself - we need you for many more St Patrick Days to come. In the meantime, enjoy the music! kzbin.info/aero/PLZGI6P1_UlKuOV2qD4AG_d9OsTgKvOMDn

[@wheeldogleague3499]

If St. Patrick shows us that the recipe for increasing the faith is to back stab, misunderstand, betray, and ridicule the Church, maybe there's hope for us yet!

[@clivelitchfield1305]

As a plastic Englishman I never indulged I "St Paddy's day." Not for any particular reason it just seemed another of many gigantic p... ups. I will read up on him now so thanks

I don't know how st. Patrick would survive in today's Ireland.

[@Dienekes678]

He'd be disappointed to see all the snakes running the country, that's for sure!!

[@Cat-Natural-Law]

I will be boycotting St Patrick's Day this year ..though having been given the name Patrick at birth ,it's never been a bigger embarrassment being born to that country...it's effete leadership and corrupt governance is no longer tolerable..I no longer forgive I no longer forget..this island has become a center of intellectual prostitution and no good taste and decency human being would want to be part of it... Best of luck with your colloquium in Maynooth padre...as a priest you have the training to invite sinners...i don't and gave no time for them.
