God our Father,
you sent Saint Patrick
to preach your glory to the people of Ireland.
By the help of his prayers,
may all Christians proclaim your love to all men.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
From the Proper of Saints.

This prayer asks that Christians proclaim God's love. St. Patrick: His Confession and Other Works brings together Patrick's own testimony and letter, translated by Fr. Neil Xavier O'Donoghue, with additional devotional material.
