Saint Patrick is an interesting Saint - with a most intriguing history. most probably know about the driving of snakes out of Ireland - and the use of the Shamrock to express the Trinity - but here is one of my favorite and perhaps lesser known stories concerning this illustrious Saint.I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

A "great" chief, called Crom Duv, wished to send a present to Saint Patrick. The chief had just killed an ox and had cut it into four quarters. He sent one quarter of it with his greetings to St Patrick by his errand boy.When the boy arrived at the place where Patrick lived, he foud the holy Man in prayer. The boy waited until hte saint came out and presented the gift.Now, at that time there was very little food in Ireland. Meat was never seen except on the tables of the rich because it cost so much. Indeed, St Patrick and his friends were often hungry. Most of their food came from kind folks who lived nearby.For this reason, when the saint saw the large piece of meat which Crom Duv had sent, he raised his eyes to heaven, Blessing the meat, he said, "Deo Gratias".The errand boy, seeing the size of...
What qualification do you expect for the next Pres.? Cong. De Venecia reminds us of Singapore - Lee Kuan Yu. It is time that we do some cleansing and moral revolution in the whole system of Government. But remind you, when Cong. De Venecia was still Speaker of the House - he obtructed the truth about the impeachment trial of GMA. Can you trust Cong. De Venecia to lead this country? I admire the genius in our country. Yet no one is brave enough to say that He can run a honest and clean government. Vested interest will insist of perpetuating their greed. Do we need another Kennedy? Do we need another Bhutto? History repeats itself.
Can we truly find peace and prosperity. Cong. De Venecia declares all seat in the Congress to be vacant. I beleive that to achieve truly cleansing in the Government - every position must be vacated and put people like Gov. Panlilio in the office. A man of prayer. A man who has fear of God. "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world (with his greed) and losses his soul (to Hell). Fear Him who has the power to put your soul in hell. The final judge is God - who holds the truth.
Tomorrow (March 17th) is the Feast of Saint Patrick.
There are many wonderful and Pius legends about this illustrious saint, but of all I am most fond of this one:A "great" chief, called Crom Duv, wished to send a present to Saint Patrick. The chief had just killed an ox and had cut it into four quarters. He sent one quarter of it with his greetings to St Patrick by his errand boy.
When the boy arrived at the place where Patrick lived, he foud the holy man in prayer. The boy waited until hte saint came out and presented the gift.
Now, at that time there was very little food in Ireland. Meat was never seen except on the tables of the rich because it cost so much. Indeed, St Patrick and his friends were often hungry. Most of their food came from kind folks who lived nearby.
For this reason, when the saint saw the large piece of meat which Crom Duv had sent, he raised his eyes to heaven, Blessing the meat, he said, "Deo Gratias".
The errand boy, seeing the size of Crom Duv's gift, waited for more thanks than just two words. None came, for St. Patrick had returned to his prayers.
The boy went back to his chief, who at once asked what thanks the saint had given for the...
Prayer is most powerful. Nobody can deny this fact. Understand the usefulness of the prayer and cultivate this wonderful thing in the day to day life. I am very much impressed by the way in which Mahatma has put it. According to him, " I am not a man of learning, but I humbly claim to be a man of prayer. I am indifferent as to the form. Everyone is a law unto himself in that respect...
A heartfelt prayer is not a recitation with the lips.It is a yearning from within which expresses itself in a word, every act, nay, every thought of man...
We have to cultivate illimitable patience if we will realise the efficacy of power."
Is it possible for everybody to follow Mahatma?

For me the greatest invention we human ever invented was the ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTOR. I think it was invented by Michael Faraday.
