Christ Before Me, Christ Behind Me,christ In

I Am Patrick, A Sinner, Most Uncultivated And Least Of All The Faithful And Despised In The Eyes Of Many.

And There I Saw In The Night The Vision Of A Man....coming As It Were From Ireland, With Countless Letters. And He Gave Me One Of Them, And I Read The Opening Words Of The Letter, Which Were, The Voice Of The Irish...and As I Read The Beginning Of The Letter I Thought That At The Same Moment I Heard Their Voice - They Were Those Beside The Wood Of Voclut, Which Is Near The Western Sea - And Thus Did They Cry Out As With One Mouth: We Ask Thee, Boy, Come And Walk Among Us Once More.

He [god] Watched Over Me Before I Knew Him, And Before I Learned Sense Or Even Distinguished Between Good And Evil, And He Protected Me, And Consoled Me As A Father Would His Son.

Let Anyone Laugh And Taunt If He So Wishes. I Am Not Keeping Silent, Nor Am I Hiding The Signs And Wonders That Were Shown To Me By The Lord Many Years Before They Happened, Who Knew Everything, Even Before The Beginning Of Time.

That Which I Have Set Out In Latin Is Not My Words But The Words Of God And Of Apostles And Prophets, Who Of Course Have Never Lied. He Who Believes Shall Be Saved, But He Who Does Not Believe Shall Be Damned. God Has Spoken.
