Christ In All Things: The Faith Of Saint Patrick
Sermons For Special Sundays
On this Saint Patrick's Day I'd like to begin the sermon with an Irish greeting: "Cead Mile Failta" (pronounced keed mila felt-ya). That's my best Irish for "A hundred thousand welcomes," which, they tell me at the Keltic Kitchen, is the appropriate way to greet any large assembly (whether there happen to be 100,000 people or not). As you might have guessed, I'm not Irish myself. Still, on Saint Patrick's Day, many of us like to be at least a little bit "Irish." I once read a newspaper article listing ten things anyone could do to be authentically Irish on Saint Patrick's Day.
