Collected Works of Saint Patrick

St. Patrick's Breastplate - This prayer is attributed to St. Patrick and his disciples. It is written with some Celtic pagan elements, but is definitely a Christian prayer asking God for protection through daily life.

A Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus - Patrick writes this letter to excommunicate the soldiers of Coroticus' army who pillaged villages in Ireland and forced many Christian converts into slavery.

Confession - A short autobiography by St. Patrick who tells of being abducted into slavery and taken to Ireland, the growth of his faith, his ministry as a bishop in ordaining many priests and baptising thousands of people, and a trial where he had to defend himself against his accusers.

Very Interesting

Before I listened to this short book I knew virtually nothing about St Patrick. Having listened to it I have a greater sense of the man, his passions, challenges and insecurities, but I still feel I know little about the events of his life. The largest part of this book is his Confessions. He seemed to be defending himself against some sort of charge, and there was a great deal of sadness in his writing. Unfortunately his writing is disorganised, making it difficult to follow his train of thought. Actually, he apologises several times for his lack of scholarship and learning. St Patrick was an intriguing man, very human and I dare say a much more likeable and significant person than he thought. Thanks very much to the narrator for a great reading.
