Hail glorious St Patrick....

.....dear saint originating from:-

Ireland
Scotland
England
 Wales
Brittany
Italy
Wherever

Please pray for our Holy Father and especially for the Church in Ireland, that it may find true sanctity and love for the Son of God once more.


And here is a brief history of the great man......American pronunciation throughout (you say ma-raiders we say ma-rauders). 
Apologies if that appears rude to all you USA readers, it's just that we speak English over here.

  1. No, we Americans say marauders -- your source of mangled pronunciation may be close to our President (bless his heart).

    So how's that thing about speaking English working out in contemporary London?

  2. Oh, yeah, Yank? So how's that "all men are created equal" thing working out for YOU?

    (I shouldn't have to make snappy comebacks to myself!)

    Happy Saint Patrick, ora pro nos.
