IRELAND
Did you know that County Clare in Ireland is three times larger than Butler County, Ohio but has less than half the population?

WEEKEND LITURGY
Typically, on Saturdays, I write about Bible verses to be read at Catholic mass on the weekend. Today, I'm diverging to my patron: Saint Patrick. Today is his day and it marks the end of Winter for me. It was the end of "winter" for the Irish when Patrick brought the story of Christ to them.
We celebrate this day. That's not a bad thing. Celebration is good. Many get drunker than snot. That's okay too. Just don't run into me on the roadway.
You know there are no snakes in Ireland . . . unless you drink too much. Then you might start seeing all kinds of strange and evil things. Patrick brought Christian religion to Ireland and told them of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Irish have been concentrating on the 'spirits' end of the message for a long time.
Patrick baptized the Irish with water. The English word 'whiskey' is an Anglicisation of the first word of the Gaelic phrase 'uisce beatha' which translates to 'water of life'. Do you see where I'm going with this? Have a Jameson and it will all come clear. I wish you a great celebration today . . . be safe.

Reportedly, the people of the Republic of Ireland have sent (so far) $1.8 million (collected via a "go fund me" account) to a Native American Indian tribe (the Choctaws) to help defray their expenses through the COVID-19 pandemic. They say it is in repayment for money that tribe sent to Ireland in 1847 during the Potato Famine in which over a million Irish died. The tribe sent $170 back then.
