Day 1

Day 1 (March 9th 2021)

Today we prayer for our young people throughout the Archdiocese of Armagh.  We prayer for the intercession of St. Patrick.  That our young people may come to know the living God in deeply personal way and one day have the courage to share their faith with others.

Glorious St. Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland and of the Archdiocese of Armagh. As a young boy you were held captive far from your home and family.  It was during this time of captivity, that you encountered the living God and developed a deep and personal relationship with Him.  In the solitude of your labour, you heard and answered the call to serve God and the people of this land.  You walked the length and breadth of Ireland converting poor sinners and building the Kingdom of God.  Please intercede for the people of the
Archdiocese of Armagh, that we too can encounter the same living and true God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in our daily lives and contribute to the mission of the triune God and His Church on earth.
