St. Patricks Confessio: Section 1 - 5

Leading up to St. Patricks day I decided to read 4 - 5 sections of St. Patricks Confessio daily until I had finished it.  Will you join me as I read?  I will post quotes from each days reading, and possibly some thoughts on it, each day.   The text is free online, and 5 sections aren't very long, as each section is only one paragraph, and sometimes only a sentence.  I will be sharing a quote from the text each day, and some thoughts, and would like to hear yours as well.  It is available free online so I hope some of you will join me in reading this.


The sections I've already read are listed below...

Confessio:  Sections 1 - 5

Section 1-3 introduces St. Patrick's kidnapping and the beginning of his faith.  In section 4-5 he talks about the trinity and his reason for sharing the Gospel. The following things he said about God really spoke to me.

He guarded me before I knew him, and before I came to wisdom and could distinguish between good and evil. He protected me and consoled me as a father does for his son.

...He is the one who was not begotten, the one without a beginning, the one from whom all beginnings come, the one who holds all things in being.
